Atmospheric perspective is different out here in that vistas 50 miles away can seem to be just around the corner. It can give you a sense of vertigo. Also, the lack of greenery and the general rusty red color of many of the rocks is odd from a Eastern landscape atmospheric perspective.

Nice painting Jane, have you thought about putting a low hilly horizon line in at the bottom to ground the painting?

Linda,
I like the idea of the low hilly horizon - that might bring the whole picture together more. Thanks for the input.
