Choose Desert Sunset as a hand painted oil painting and skip the compromise of printed wall decor. Based on William Herbert Dunton's original. Our artists rebuild the landscape composition stroke by stroke, producing heritage canvas wall art with lasting color depth.
1923
Oil on canvas laid down on board
As noted on an inscription on the backing, the present work depicts a location 52 miles northeast of Santa Fe, New Mexico. "By about 1925 Dunton began painting more and more small landscape studies and sketches such as Desert Sunset. Nearly all are 5 x 8 or 8 x 5 inch panels cut from homemade canvasboard...Typically, these small paintings were painted in rich, fully-saturated, bold, warm colors; others, like Desert Sunset, lean toward the cool colors, incorporating lavenders and purples." (M.R. Grauer, unpublished letter)
This painting will be included in the forthcoming catalogue raisonné of the artist's work being prepared by Michael R. Grauer, Associate Director for Curatorial Affairs/Curator of Art and Western Heritage, Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum, Canyon, Texas.
Collectors often choose this landscape image when searching for landscape oil painting that feels substantial rather than decorative or disposable.
We use a 100% hand-painted process: stretched artist-grade canvas, layered oil pigment, and a final protective varnish. There are no inkjet prints or mechanical reproductions in this collection — just a painted landscape artwork made to order.
Build a home office gallery wall around this landscape oil painting, or let it stand alone as a single statement. The hand painted canvas finish keeps the landscape composition looking intentional in both classic and contemporary rooms.
