'Sangre De Cristo Mountains’ Landscape | 5x7 Wooden Framed Art Print "Postcard Painting" | Original Artwork by American Artist Barbara Cleary

Framed Art Print – “Sangre de Cristo Mountains” by Barbara Cleary | 5x7 inches

Bring a piece of Taos history into your home with Sangre de Cristo Mountains, a small-format framed print inspired by the early “postcard paintings” of Irving Couse. In the early 1900s, Couse created collectible artworks for visitors enchanted by the beauty of northern New Mexico—and Barbara Cleary continues this tradition with her own intimate tribute to the land.

This 5x7 inch framed print captures the quiet power of the Sangre de Cristo range bathed in luminous light, painted with Cleary’s signature brushwork and reverence for the land. Though modest in size, the image carries a sense of vastness—inviting the viewer into a golden hour moment of mountain stillness.

Professionally printed on archival paper and framed in sustainably sourced natural pine, this small piece makes a big impact—perfect for a shelf, a gallery wall, or a meaningful gift.
