Sun breaks through an overcast sky on an afternoon at the Grand Canyon in Arizona, of the U.S. Southwest.

It is aptly named, the Grand Canyon, not only for its incredible size, the depth to which it reaches, its majestic cliffs and their rugged visage, but also for its changing, shifting colors. They are never the same.

Canyon Silhouettes, the artwork, captures a moment of these changing, shifting colors. As the sun heads toward its twilight moment, the textures and layers of the cliffs glow in colors that reach across the palette of the color spectrum: in the foreground are the reds, the burgundies, the deep, rich rusts and russets that we expect to see (but are always awed by) in red rock country.

By a trick of the light, as our eyes move to the background the colors turn cooler into shades of blue, green, and aqua, while far in the distance an almost haziness infuses the atmosphere and we catch only a glimpse of how great this vista is before us.

I am a fine art painter who creates representational images celebrating light, life, and color. A commercial illustrator for more than 20 years, I have been painting for most of my life, and in the last 13 years have focused exclusively on fine art. I celebrate images that invite the viewer to step into the artwork and experience a sense of joy, peace, freedom, encouragement, meditation, and thought. There's a lot of angry art out there, as well as a lot of shallow pop. I choose to use the abilities and experience I have to promote beauty and goodness.
