Original painting: “Most Strange and Daring”

Named after a phrase from Edward Abbey’s “Desert Solitaire”, this piece is based on a nighttime drive through the Utah desert, moonlight reflecting on thin ribbons of water in the wash below the road. You might see silvery water and the soft green of willow and sage on a background of midnight gray.

This piece is acrylic and oil pastel on birch panel, in a handcrafted frame, measuring 14×14 inches.
