Condors at Vermillion Cliffs, Arizona Oil Painting by CC Wari Vermilion on the Wing is a vibrant vista of Vermilion Cliffs in northern Arizona. The intriguing canyon in the foreground holds the waters of the mighty Colorado River deep in its midst. Three rare California Condors soar at the head of the cliff face enjoying the updrafts present at this spectacular place. The cliffs and canyons are blanketed with subtle vibrant colors that flows seamlessly across the canvas. The painting captures the epic scale of the massive southwestern mesa revealing the geological history and quiet grandeur of this magical place just upstream of the Grand Canyon. This is also the site where California Condors were first released back into the wild after teetering on the brink of extinction. With numbers down to only 22 birds left in existence, the remaining individuals were captured and the species was brought back to life through breeding programs like the one in Boise, Idaho at The Peregrine Fund’s World Center for Birds Of Prey. This organization has led the way back for the Condor, releasing over 270 Condors and producing 16-20 chicks a year. Without these organizations and their efforts, several raptor species would likely not exist on our planet. This is why Art With Impact Gallery chooses to donate all funds (minus printing and administrative costs) from the sales of all prints of this painting to The Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey. This depiction of the Condors soaring at Vermilion Cliffs is a celebratory depiction by the artist, CC Wari, of the triumphant Condors soaring once again over their native lands. They are sentinels, sailing the updrafts keeping a keen eye on the cliffs and flats stretching out below, soaking up the colors of this amazing landscape.
