Cloud Terrace is a symbolic thunderstorm pictograph frequently seen on rock and cliff walls throughout the plains, and the S.W. at times, accompanied by the Lightning Snake. In the Southwest, snakes are known for their speed. This may be one reason that the Navajo associate snakes with lightning. Some traditions suggest that snakes are the physical manifestation of lightning on earth. A common Navajo snake symbol in paintings is the crooked snake that resembles a lightning bolt.
In Paleo art, Pictographs are described as images and designs made by painting on rocks or in caves. For this type of painting, charred wood, plants and minerals were ground up and mixed with liquids ( oil, fat, urine, blood) and then applied with sticks, fingers, or hands. Due to the fragile nature of these creations, very few pictographs have survived the elements over time.
Petroglyphs, more commonly found were created by carving, engraving, or scratching the rock’s surface in order to reveal the lighter layers beneath. The depth and thickness of these images can vary depending upon whether they were scratched, pecked, abraded, incised, or carved onto a surface.
This is for one unframed museum quality fine art print, originally published by Joan Cawley Gallery.
The prints are produced using the lithographic printing process and are printed on high quality archival acid free paper.
The prints are on a thick (120 pound or higher) stock of paper.
Each print is of the highest museum art print reproduction quality and are supplied by the world's leading art publishers.
These prints rival any detailed reproduction from their original pastel painting.
Framed prints are shown as an example of possible framing only.
