Monument Valley By Edgar Payne (1883 – 1947) c. 1925 oil on canvas, 30 x 34 inches
“These are the kinds of clouds you see ships in, turtles in, the kinds of clouds you see the mouths of wolves in.

Soon the light will shift, and the shapes will shift with the light, and you will make new worlds of these shapes, worlds for your imagination to revel in and dwell in.”
