It depicts red and brown hills under a glowing red and yellow sky in northern New Mexico, most likely in the vicinity of Taos. At its initial exhibition in 1931, O'Keeffe indicated that it was one of her own best-loved paintings from that time period.

His career has benefited from the current revival in pinup art, but he continues to paint a variety of subjects. "Men will always love girls," he says.
Some painters had their works lined immediately after, or even before, completion. [2] The treatment was intended to mitigate mechanical damage and some nineteenth century academics considered it a necessary step before any other treatments should be enacted. [1] This treatment was considered an inevitable task in the conservation of paintings. [3]
Using a removal tool, a sort of awl, the painting and the intonachino attached to the cloth and glue covering are then detached, from the bottom up. The back of the fresco is thinned to remove excess lime and reconstructed with a permanent backing made from two thin cotton cloths, called velatini, and a heavier cloth with a layer of glue.
This rise in popularity of the artist has resulted in the removal of their paintings to be sold. One example can be seen in the removal of Girl with Red Balloon from Shoreditch, east London in 2013–2014. The painting was removed over a period of two weeks, using a diamond-bladed chainsaw to cut through 22 cm of brick.

A prepared canvas was then attached to the back of the paint layer, using the same method as was used for lining pictures. When the glue had dried, the paper and muslin ...
The salt spray test (or salt fog test) is a standardized and popular corrosion test method, used to check corrosion resistance of materials and surface coatings.Usually, the materials to be tested are metallic (although stone, ceramics, and polymers may also be tested) and finished with a surface coating which is intended to provide a degree of corrosion protection to the underlying metal.
