Paintings of the Southwest

The southwest was Erin Hanson's first love; she began painting in her Open Impressionism style when rock climbing at Red Rock Canyon and living in Las Vegas, Nevada. Her Southwest Collection includes vivid orange rock formations and purple shadows inspired by Arizona, Utah, and Nevada. She has spent many years exploring the national parks and monuments across Arizona and the Colorado Plateau, including Sedona, Saguaro National Park, Canyon de Chelly, Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Arches, Bryce, and Zion (to name a few!)

Anyone who has seen a sunset over Monument Valley will never forget it. As the world slowly darkens and the landscape hushes, the sky celebrates the closing of another day with brilliant hues and cloud formations. This painting captures that transient moment in time with thick, impasto brush strokes and expressionistic color. This painting was done on 1-1/2" canvas, with the painting continued around the edges. It has been framed in a gilded and hand-carved floater frame. --- Monument Valley <B>F U N F A C T S</B> Formed during the Permian period (50 million years before dinosaurs roamed the earth), this patch of land once formed part of a seafloor where sediments and sandstone piled up in layers for millions of years. The Valley is now a sacred place for the Navajo, whose mythology holds that these grand spires contain the spirits of Najavo warriors. Monument Valley is found on the Navajo National Reservation. The Valley is also one of the most filmed spots in the history of filmmaking. The valley was hailed "John Wayne country" for appearing in no less than five of his movies. It also served as a backdrop for an iconic scene in Forest Gump. "There are certain places in the world that seem like special effects, they don't seem real," said film historian Scott Eyman. "They're too perfect. And the first time you come here, you see it through John Ford's eyes." (Ford is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential film-makers in history.) -- This painting was a part of the <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Event/redrock2018" target=_blank"><i>The Red Rock Show</i></a> in San Diego in 2018. <a href="https://www.erinhanson.com/Portfolio?col=The_Red_Rock_Show_2018" target="_blank"><u>Click here</u></a> to view the other Red Rock paintings.

Biologists believe that some may live for over 200 years. * Because of their slow growth, a saguaro often takes 50 to 70 years to grow their first arms. By the time they are 100, they typically have several arms. * The oldest recorded saguaro grew over 40 feet tall and had 52 arms.
