Painted looking South East as the sun was setting. I was inspired by the colors of the cliffs against the sky and choose a small panel so I could finish quickly as the colors were changing.
The Vermillion Cliffs are the second "step" in the five-step Grand Staircase of the Colorado Plateau in northern Arizona and southern Utah.
The cliffs are part of the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument, 293,689 acres that protects the Paria Plateau, Vermilion Cliffs, Coyote Buttes, and Paria Canyon.
Elevations in the monument range from 3,100 feet to 6,500 feet.
The cliffs are steep eroded escarpments consisting primarily of sandstone, siltstone, limestone, and shale which rise as much as 3,000 feet (910 m) above their bases. These sedimentary rocks have been deeply eroded for millions of years, exposing hundreds of layers of richly colored rock strata including intensely colored red iron oxide and bluish manganese.
Ready for your home with a very special antique hand carved frame with leaf corners.
Total size with frame 11.25 X 9 inches.
If you have any questions about a purchase, want more photos or to do a video chat, please call, text or email me. I am happy to talk! Purchasing art online can be intimidating, so just reach out if you need some more information. 209-988-3710
