Hopi Village-Arizona, acrylic on canvas, 30" X 48", by George Porter after Thomas Moran features a breathtaking view of the desert cliffs and rocks of the Hopi Mesa in Arizona, painted in the luminist style of the Hudson River School. Using a desert palette of Chroma Atelier Interactive Artists Acrylics, George Porter captures the glowing light in the desert sky, in the rocks in the cliff face, and in the mesa in bright warm colors. His use of contrasting blues, greens and purples in the foreground and river elevates this stunning landscape to a masterpiece in color composition. Hidden in the shapes of rocks are symbolic images of a bird with prey, a coyote, a dog, and an eel. This painting is available for purchase in the online Shop.
