While doing this work, Carl Valente prints, posters and art were loved by millions of people from the Pacific Coast and the Southwest areas. In those times, he became intensely interested in murals and did paintings for private corporations and individuals, most of which were published in top magazines all over the United States.

The landscapes that he created offered different seasons with varying colors.
