Beauty in the Ordinary

Sky Island Full Moon Painting


With bright, calming and seamlessly blended pastel colors, this landscape painting transports the viewer to the otherworldly Sky Islands of the American Southwest. Standing on a subalpine plateau towering thousands of feet above the harsh desert, I was awe-struck by the sun-lit glow of the full moon in the twilight sky. Sky Island Full Moon reflects my experience of being immersed in this archipelago in the clouds.
