Bell Rock Trail, Sedona, Arizona
36 x 36"
A winding desert trail leads the eye gently into the heart of Sedona, where sunlit red rock formations rise with quiet strength against an expansive blue sky. Warm earth tones glow beneath the clear light, while soft passages of sage green and desert foliage create a rhythm of color and texture across the landscape. The shifting path invites the viewer forward, suggesting both exploration and reflection within this timeless Southwestern terrain.
 
Painted en plein air and later refined in the studio, the work captures the clarity and calm unique to Sedona’s high desert. The balance between luminous rock faces and cool shadowed passages conveys the sensation of standing within the landscape itself, experiencing the stillness, warmth, and spiritual openness that define this remarkable place.
