Description
Monument Valley-John Wayne and John Ford loved this place. One of the few places in Arizona that I have not been. One day I hope to. So this painting was done from a photograph...I loved the photo and thought that it would make for a good painting. I made a few subtle changes here and there. The distant buttes at the end of the day create a very peaceful mood. Just a few moments of light left on the clouds before dark. Total silence, solitude, and wide open space here.

Absolutely beautiful Jerry! F
Jerry Bokowski replied:

I am in agreement with what many have said about this gorgeous painting, dear Jerry..."Takes my breath away every time I see it, Landscape of an Epic scale indeed," "a perfect title for a perfect painting. The detail on the buttes, heavenly clouds, and beautiful plants against the rusty landscape really makes you feel lost in these scene." Just one of the epic places to visit in the MARVELoUS state of Arizona. Many a Western movie scene was shot with this Monument Valley view. But you Jerry, hone in the vast depth and beauty of the colorful landscape, monuments, and sky. Well done!

Paying a revisit to this one, Jerry. Monument Valley is definitely on my bucket list, and I have not been there either. This wonderful painting really inspires me to visit. You have really portrayed the awe I can only imagine feeling standing in this spot at the end of the day. If only it was not so far.. your work of art takes me there!
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Just to the right is that famous overhang that many artists depict with riders on horses and such. I just wanted to evoke SOLITUDE. Thank you very much, Chance!
