by John Good, local artist

Capture the untamed spirit of the American West with this stunning note card, featuring a bold woodblock interpretation of the majestic West Mitten Butte, a crown jewel of Monument Valley.

The West Mitten Butte, alongside its twin, the East Mitten, stands as a silent sentinel in the heart of Monument Valley, a Navajo Nation treasure sculpted by millions of years of wind and water. 1  These towering sandstone formations, remnants of ancient mountains, owe their existence to the powerful forces of erosion that carved out the Colorado Plateau. The resilient rock, composed of layers of sediment deposited over millennia, has withstood the relentless elements, leaving behind these dramatic monuments that ignite the imagination and inspire awe.  

Embrace the rugged charm and timeless allure of the West Mitten Butte with this unique woodblock note card. The bold lines and stark contrasts of the print capture the essence of this iconic landscape, inviting you to share a piece of its magic with your loved ones.  Each card is a testament to the enduring beauty of Monument Valley, a reminder of the power of nature and the artistry of human hands, making it a cherished keepsake for any occasion.
