High ground belongs to the ram: curled horns, a grassy ledge and banded buttes running off to his left.

This Badlands poster draws a ram above striped rock ridges in warm earth colors under an amber sky. Put it up in a mudroom or a bunk room.

Ram Above the Buttes, from sky to grass

The picture is a wide panel on off-white paper. Its upper part is a flat amber sky, and where that sky ends, long off-white cloud streaks trail across. High at the left, a pair of small dark birds is in flight.

At the right stands a bighorn ram in side view, facing left. His horns curl in a heavy loop, his coat is tan-orange with dark charcoal shading, and his muzzle and rump are pale. The grassy ledge under his hooves tops a banded slope.

To his left, a low range of eroded buttes and ridges crosses the panel in bands of tan, ochre and orange, cut by dark shadow gullies. A low sun sits partly behind the buttes. Sage-green grassland with darker tufts fills the foreground.

Under the panel, "BADLANDS" is printed in large dark capitals with wide spacing, and "NATIONAL PARK" runs beneath it in small letters. Color is laid down in flat, hard-edged blocks, with fine tapered strokes on the animal and in the gullies, so the whole thing reads like a retro travel poster.

Living with the print

• You pick from three portrait sheets: 12″×18″ (30.5 × 45.7 cm), 18″×24″ (45.7 × 61.0 cm) or 24″×36″ (61.0 × 91.4 cm).
• You get thick paper: 10.3 mil.
• You look at a matte finish.
• Your sheet weighs 189 g/m² and has 94% opacity.
• Your wall gets an ISO brightness of 104%.
• You decide how it goes up, since the poster ships unframed.

Who it's for

Hikers, wildlife watchers and families who plan trips around parks, South Dakota among them. It suits a cabin wall, a kid's room with an animal theme or the hallway where the trip photos hang. Think of it for a new home, a birthday or the weeks right after the trip.

Quick answers

What takes up the most room in the picture?

The ram. He covers much of the right side from ledge to sky, while the rock ridges stay low and small next to him.

Where is the sun in the scene?

On the horizon between the central buttes, with its lower part hidden by the rock.

What mood do the colors set?

Warm and dry. Almost every shape is an earth shade, the grass adds the one cool note, and the dark gullies give the ridges their depth.
