White Pocket, Arizona. A place so remote it takes hours of expert driving through deep sand to reach it. An inhospitable place, few trees, almost no shade, no potable water, and yet so stunningly beautiful! The sandstone here is contorted into amazing shapes, peaks, valleys; red, orange, and white. All against a crystalline blue sky. The mystical shapes are the result of soft sediment deformation millions of years ago; now revealed by erosion. Here golden sunrise light illuminates the rock while storm clouds above threaten to drench the desert in much needed rain.

The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.
