A Pictorial weaving is a woven journal of the features of a weaver's daily life in Navajoland.  Many Pictorial rugs are landscapes with mesas, mountains, clouds, hogans, sheep, cattle, horses, a corral, wagons and pickup trucks, and the Navajo People themselves.  All the things involved with modern daily life are depicted in Pictorial weavings.   The colors used are appropriate to the subject matter; blue skies, green junipers, and black and white sheep.  Many Pictorial weavings are still woven without perspective or shading, but some weavers today are producing surprisingly realistic pictures.
