    GaleriaGila Hola, y'all!

    Wow... lemme linger on this a while...
    Wood is... what?
    So... peasant women? Stick-figures (crucifictions?)... astral/heavenly projections over distant mountains?
    I have a vivid imagination, but...
    It's interesting to me.

    Wonder what the two men on right background are doing-left one is holding something green and red; one on right is holding a funnel-like thing with something red coming out of top, a flame?

    Vaguely reminiscent of the fauvist works of Maurice Denis but could be from anywhere.

    Makanudo There is no such thing as simple.Simple is hard.

    Composition on the painting resembles US motivational posters from the 50's

    Red lines may represent one of those prolonged lava flows after a volcanic eruption. Andes mountains, possibly either Calbuco or Villarrica volcanoes.

    I should have worded my response more clearly. The streamers are "in the colors of the flag of Poland." Here's an example off the internet.

    The streamers look more austrian than polish

    I think the clothes and head coverings are all wrong for Tibet.
