Afternoon autumnal light floods the canyon floor, as a Taos Pueblo hunter awaits his quarry. In the fall Henry would pack up his fly rod and a skillet and head up the canyon with his favorite models, to spend the day painting and fishing. Most likely it is Elkfoot or Hunting Son pictured here in Taos Canyon, only several miles from Sharp’s home and studio now the Couse-Sharp Historic Site.
