Sisters and Sage

Sisters and Sage  15" x 36"  acrylic  SOLD

The Three Sisters Wilderness is one of mine and my family’s favorite places to visit and this painting was inspired by a recent trip to the high desert east of the mountains.  The snow-capped peak of South Sister pierces the sky as Middle and North Sister are cloud capped due to an approaching weather system. Hardy sagebrush and gnarled juniper dominate the foreground and the play of light and shadow on the rugged terrain adds depth and dimension to the scene evoking a sense of tranquility and reverence.  In this fleeting moment before the storm, nature stands at the cusp of transformation, where the delicate balance of beauty and power intertwines, leaving viewers in awe of the magnificent forces at play in the wilderness.
