Spirito Radioso

I framed this and hung it in my hallway—now I catch myself staring at it every single time I walk past. The layering of the red rock cliffs is so deep you can almost feel the Arizona heat coming off the canvas.

The colors in this piece feel like the actual cliffs at sunset, that deep vermilion glow is so close to what I saw on my own trip there. It’s one of those artworks that pulls you in every time you pass it.

The way the cliff edges catch the light feels like a real place I could step into, and the depth of the stone layers keeps pulling my eye back. I've got it hanging in my hallway and catch myself stopping to look at it every time I walk past.
