Original artwork description:

Vallis translates to valley in latin, and my husband came up with this name. I love it. This piece is my re-imagining of a photo of sun drenched peaks and sloping grassland pastures. As this painting developed though, I couldn’t help but add a rushing spring stream emerging from the mountains. In my mind, water competes the picture of life. And this cycle allows our understanding of nature as a self sustaining dynamic. Vallis bursts with all the invisible energy in our surroundings. It speaks true about forces that leap and connect to feed everything that grows, though we may not notice, that drinks in water, though we may not see it, and radiates the light that nourishes us and all those with whom we share the earth.

The deep 1-1/2" museum mount edges of Vallis are painted as 3D extensions of the main image.
