El Morro

"El Morro" (2019), a reductive linocut relief print by Monique Wales, depicts a wide valley of rolling green hills seen from an elevated vantage point, with clusters of trees in the foreground and a coastline with a distant rock outcropping visible on the horizon. The composition is built from dense, textured patterns of fine linocut marks rendering grass, foliage, and cloud bands in layered shades of green, olive, and rust-brown against a pale blue-grey sky. No figures are present; the mood is quiet and expansive, emphasizing the depth of the valley leading toward the sea.
