DescriptionThe foreground is clay colored desert with green clumps of vegetation scattered throughout bright with intense sunlight. In the distance are deep blue and purple colored mesas that are mostly covered in dark shadows. One mesa in the mid-ground on the right side is light by a ray of sun illuminating only it and the rest around it again lies in shadows. The sky is done in various hues of blue which extend from light to dark blue from the top to bottom. Large stylized gray clouds dominate the sky.On View
