Fading Light on the Mittens

from $34.00

There is a specific kind of silence that settles over the high desert as the day begins to retreat. On this evening at Monument Valley, the sky was nearly empty of clouds, leaving nothing to obstruct the transition of light. I stood with my back to the west as the sun dipped toward the horizon, acting like a massive, unseen furnace that cast a burning orange and red glow across the sandstone monoliths.

In that moment, the scene felt less like a landscape and more like an unveiling. It felt as if nature were personally revealing a secret to me, showing the true, vibrant character of the rock that remains hidden under the harsh glare of the midday sun. Standing there in the cooling air, feeling the winds of the desert blow through my jacket, I began to understand on a visceral level why the Navajo people hold this region in such high esteem. You can feel the sacredness in the soil and the gravity in the shadows. It is easy to see why they vow to protect this land with such ferocity, because it is not just a collection of rock formations, but a living testament to the endurance of the earth.

Fading Light on the Mittens is perfect for the spiritual traveler who seeks more than just a souvenir and instead wants a piece of art that captures the soul of a location. It is a match for those who value heritage and conservation, specifically individuals who feel a deep respect for Indigenous lands and the preservation of sacred spaces. It is also ideal for a Southwestern-style home or a space that utilizes Earth tones like terracotta, sage, and sand. It is ideally suited for a large living area or a sunroom where the natural afternoon light can play off the colors in the print.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
