Eons

Oil on canvas, 20 × 16 inches unframed, 22 × 18 inches framed

I first referred to this as "cupcake rock," but it seems much too frivolous a name for such a stunning scene. I don't often put people in my landscapes, but in this case, they establish for the viewer the scale of the massive boulders.

Eons — an oil painting of the Zion Narrows, hikers wading jade-green water between towering red-orange and gold sandstone walls, green foliage and a patch of blue sky above; warm, vibrant, monumental and awe-inspiring
Detail of Eons — brushwork close-up showing the painted boulders and water
Detail: confident strokes of light and dark
Eons installed in a home interior
Fine art fills the soul
