Morning is not something to be rushed.

It is, all the time, in the “modern” world of civilization and commerce, with people paying far more attention to the alarm on their phone than they do to the sun. This is what we are taught and trained to do, to the point that it seems normal.

But in nature, for time immemorial, morning takes the time that it needs to fully emerge. First there is the slightest glow on the horizon, then the first glint of sun as it peeks over the edge, then the emergence of light and color and shadow as the sun rises, stately and slowly, into the sky and begins its journey through the day.

The artwork, Morning Light at the Grand Canyon, celebrates this measured, majestic dance of light and color, of silence broken by nature’s sounds, of the gentle unfolding of the new day.

And it does this, every single day. It matters not to the Arizona Grand Canyon landscape whether humanity on the planet uses hour glasses or cell phone...

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.
