I love the quality of light in the high alpine desert. The unique San Luis Valley - the highest alpine valley in the world--reflects the light in a unique way. Something about the altitude, the thin air and the vibrant light at times of transition inspires something new every day.

This piece is framed in a traditional black frame. The frame is made of lightweight, high-density renewal core that is both durable and elegant. The frame measures 11 x 13.2 x 1 inches.

"Desert Reflections" is a 6x8 inch acrylic painting that captures the rugged beauty of a high alpine desert landscape. The piece features a vivid blue sky filled with dynamic, swirling white clouds, creating a sense of movement and contrast. Below the sky, a dark, earthy-toned mountain range provides a bold horizontal line, separating sky from land. The foreground is a rich tapestry of earthy hues, suggesting an arid terrain marked by rocks and sparse sagebush vegetation. The combination of texture and color contributes to a vivid and expressive portrayal of the scene, inviting viewers to feel the expanse and solitude of this natural environment.
