Hi Jean, The colors in this painting are very close to the actual location which is the Valley of Fire State Park in Nevada. This was a little study and after painting it I did one of the same scene that is an 18" x 26". I really like painting in the Valley of Fire because the layers of sandstone are so colorful. Thanks for your comment -Lisa
Love the colors in this painting. Nice landscape.
