Item Description
Oil, 11x14 inches unframed, gallery canvas 1.5 inches deep (no frame required)
El Salvador is nicknamed "Land of Volcanoes," its landscape dotted by more than 170 awe-inspiring volcanoes, including 20 active ones. The Chaparrastique volcano (also known as San Miguel) is considered one of the most active, with 26 eruptions in the last 500 years.
Thousands of people were forced to flee their homes at its last major eruption, in December 2013. Fortunately, no lives were lost. Volcanoes such as this one are part of the natural beauty of El Salvador.
Artist' Note:
While no vegetation survives near its peak due to the frequent eruptions, fertile coffee plantations flourish on the flanks of the Chaparrastique which rises majestically into the sky.

You are all a blessing for our lives."
