A painting of a desert landscape of red rock formations and mesas under a vast and vivid blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds. In the foreground, a set of wagon tracks curves to the right, leading past a small, shadowed hill, to a grassy field where a very small covered wagon picks up the trail. Sunlit red rock formations in middle ground frame the blue silhouette of a distant mesa in the background, giving the sense of the long road ahead leading to infinite possibilities.
