In 1936, Georgia O'Keeffe painted the Red Hills with Pedernal that had white clouds. This was during her first visit to New Mexico in the company of her friend, Rebecca James. The image shows how the rugged terrain of the mountains and nature surrounding it appears.
She loved the beauty and excellent colour of the hills and mesas on the Pedernal Mountain. The artist did this using the crystalline light and brilliant colours with crisp and precise outlines. It has that panoramic view that is easily understandable and relatable to everyone.
