Description
Oil on Canvas20" X 36"
A friend saw an earlier painting (Birds of a Feather)and wanted one of his own featuring the same mountain range. These are the Superstition Mountains which stand just East of Mesa, Arizona. They
dominate the landscape and are the setting for a variety of legends and mysteries.

I know you must've heard this before, but some of your paintings are just impossible to pick apart from your photographs. Seriously, I wouldn't know this was a painting were it not for the description. How long does it take you to make such a piece? It must be madness!

I did this one from photographs I took while I was in Arizona, so it didn't take too long. The ones that eat up the time are the ones like "Emissaries" where I really have nothing to go on except my imagination. Often, what seemed like a cool idea fails to live up to expectations and has to be done over and over until I get something that looks right.

OMG! This is truly spectacular! That cloud cover is just, dare I say it? Heavenly! Wow, what a talent you have.
I just downloaded this for a desktop wall paper!

I have not doubt. The clouds are for me, the predominant focal point of the drawing. The mountains are legendary of course, and beautiful but when I saw that cloud cover it was like "OMG", a real wowomojo moment!

This is a cool artwork!
I love the lighting, it looks like a photograph of a real desert.

Thank you! I think I would please Mr. Moran's ghost by working larger...wall size, perhaps. I need to take my camera and head over to the Grand Canyon for some inspiration!

The man I did this painting for needs only to glance out of his window to see the real mountains....so it needs to be pretty accurate. The people out there are proud of their mountains and, I am guessing, are kind of fussy about how they get depicted. I had to resist the temptation to turn both clouds and mountains into a pair of dragons...the clouds especially suggest that.

Um...not sure what you mean by environment tools.

I just do not have enough words to express what I feel looking at your picture.
The power of nature, fortitude, meditation, delight in nature, drowning in beauty, quiet silent walk of friends...And a lot of everything else that just whirls around in my head
I enjoy the colors and lighting, it seems to me that I walk there

Хотелось бы, чтобы вы действительно могли посетить некоторые из этих мест: вы, кажется, не против быть маленьким существом в очень большом ландшафте. И это может быть полезно для вас! Если вы устали от долгих и холодных зим, то лето в Аризоне порадует вас еще раз, чтобы увидеть мягкие сугробы снега и снова ощутить освежающий холод на своей щеке. И я не могу представить себе лучшего друга для долгой прогулки среди кактусов и шалфея!

They are gorgeous, as is that beautifully nasty weather system stacked up behind them. Excellent work, Keith.
