Description

Mike Martinez Original Watercolor — Abandoned Wagon Under Prairie Storm

An original signed watercolor by Mike Martinez depicting a weathered covered wagon and gnarled dead tree on the high plains, set against a dramatic stormfront breaking over distant mesas. The composition pairs heavy atmospheric grays — billowing cumulus, slanting curtains of rain — with sharp ink linework defining the wagon's broken bonnet hoops, splintered sideboards, and spoked wheels. Sunlight breaks through at the horizon, throwing warm yellow across the foreground grass and silhouetting the buttes beyond a sagging barbed-wire fence line.

Signed Mike Martinez at lower left in ink. Watercolor and pen on paper, presented under glass in a slim gold-tone metal frame with wide cream mat. The subject — a classic landscape scene of weathered frontier remnants set against open sky — fits squarely in the regional watercolor tradition practiced across New Mexico and West Texas.


CONDITION

Good. Paper and pigments present fresh and stable behind glass with strong color saturation and no apparent fading. Frame shows minor handling wear.
