A Petit Jean State Park poster looking up a narrow box canyon from water level. A white waterfall drops down the right-hand wall into a shallow jade pool, a deep shadowed alcove has been hollowed out of the red bluff on the left, dark wet boulders break the surface in the foreground, and a thin strip of yellow autumn canopy and blue sky shows over the rim.
About the artwork
Hard-edged vector shapes worked in dense tonal steps, with the sandstone bedding drawn as stacked horizontal bands. The palette is unusually hot for a waterfall print: vermilion, brick and rust across the sunlit bluff, deep maroon and near-black in the alcove and the overhangs, then a sudden switch to jade and apple green in the shallow pool and inky blue-black in the deeper water at the front. The falling water is flat white broken into vertical strands. Small touches of gold and chartreuse leaf sit along the canyon rim, and a single patch of pale blue sky shows through the gap. The title is set in white capitals: PETIT JEAN, with ARKANSAS below. Portrait, 2:3.
Why you'll love it
- Red rock and green water — an unexpected colour pairing that makes this the boldest Arkansas print in the series.
- Enclosed and cool — the canyon walls close both edges of the frame, so the print reads as a place you have walked into.
- The hollowed alcove — the scooped shadow in the left bluff is as strong a shape as the waterfall itself.
- Arkansas's first state park — a canyon and falls on Petit Jean Mountain, above the Arkansas River valley.
Sizes and materials
- Paper — archival matte, rolled and unframed. Nine sizes from 8" x 12" to 30" x 40", plus A4-A1 for European frames.
- Matte canvas — stretched on a wooden bar, no glare, ready to hang.
- Framed canvas — stretched on a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
- Pigment-based archival inks, rated to resist fading for decades indoors.
Styling it at home
This is a saturated, warm print and it needs a calm wall. Off-white, chalk and warm grey all work; so does the sage green wall in the photographs above, which cools the reds down. Avoid hanging it against a red or terracotta wall, where the bluff loses its punch. Espresso or black framing contains the colour best. It suits a study, a stairwell or a dining room rather than a pale minimal bedroom.
Shipping and care
Unframed prints ship rolled in a protective tube. Framed canvas arrives ready to hang. Keep prints out of direct sunlight to protect the colour, and dust canvas with a dry, soft cloth.
Questions people ask
What size should I get? The canyon walls carry a lot of layered rock detail. 18" x 24" is a good desk or console size; 24" x 36" gives the alcove and the falls the scale they want.
Does it come framed? Paper arrives rolled and unframed for your own frame. Matte canvas is stretched and ready to hang, and framed canvas comes in a solid wood floating frame in white, black, espresso or natural.
What does the poster say? PETIT JEAN in large white capitals, with ARKANSAS in smaller spaced capitals underneath. The words State Park do not appear on the artwork itself.
Print & materials
Every design is made to order on one of three materials:
- Fine art paper — thick archival gallery-grade paper with a smooth matte finish, printed with fade-resistant pigment inks. The choice if you already own a frame.
- Matte canvas — gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher, ready to hang straight out of the box. No glass, no glare.
- Framed canvas in white, black, espresso or natural wood — a slim solid-wood floating frame with the hanging hardware already fitted. Natural and espresso suit warm, timber-heavy rooms; white and black sit better in minimalist and monochrome spaces.
Sizes run from 8 x 12 inches up to large statement pieces, plus A4, A3, A2 and A1 for standard European frames. The exact sizes available for this design are listed in the Size menu above.

Damage, defects & care
Every piece is printed for you after you order, so we cannot take a print back for a change of mind — please check the size and material first. Our Size Guide shows every size drawn to scale.
If it arrives damaged, misprinted or simply wrong, email us within 14 days with photos of the piece and the packaging. We reprint and reship it free, and there is nothing to send back.

Materials
Three ways to print it.
Same artwork, same colour-managed printing — the material decides how it hangs and how much wall it holds.
Fine art paper
Thick archival gallery-grade paper with a smooth matte finish, printed with fade-resistant pigment inks.
- The most affordable option, and the one to pick if you already own a frame.
- Reads slightly softer than canvas.
- Ships rolled in a rigid tube.
Matte canvas
Gallery-wrapped over a solid wood stretcher, ready to hang straight out of the box.
- No glass, so no glare — good for bright rooms.
- Holds a touch more contrast than paper.
- Boxed with corner guards.
Framed canvas
A slim solid-wood floating frame with the hanging hardware already fitted, in white, black, espresso or natural wood.
- Natural and espresso suit warm, timber-heavy rooms.
- White and black sit better in minimalist and monochrome spaces.
- The usual choice for a feature wall — nothing to assemble.
