Paintings of Arizona

Arizona is home to geological wonders like the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, and Sedona - as well as the largest stand of evergreen ponderosa pine trees in the world. The stunning vistas, the variety of colors offered by red rock formations, desert flora, waterways, and more inspire a rich tapestry of art. The brilliantly hued landscape has given rise to incredible art from artists like Beatien Yazz, Jack Van Ryder, Anne Coe, and Erin Hanson.

This painting of Arizona saguaros celebrates the vibrant colors of the southwest. The thick, impressionistic brush strokes create a mosaic of color and texture across the canvas, pulling your eye through the painting so that you become immersed in imagination. <b>Did you know…?</b> * The average saguaro has a lifespan of 150 to 175 years. Biologists believe that some may live for over 200 years. * Because of their slow growth, a saguaro often takes 50 to 70 years to grow their first arms. By the time they are 100, they typically have several arms. * The oldest recorded saguaro grew over 40 feet tall and had 52 arms. _____ This painting was exhibited at <i>Erin Hanson: Landscapes of the West </i> solo museum exhibition at the Sears Art Museum in St. George, Utah.

Hiking out of the Grand Canyon last October, I was able to watch dusk fall over the canyon from a perch about 2/3rd up from the canyon floor.

I started hiking down into the Grand Canyon one early morning, 2 hours before dawn. The trailhead began way back from the main canyon, a few miles' hike from the first uninterrupted view where you could see the wide expanse of the canyon. As I hiked along with my two brothers, large packs on our backs, I watched the sky slowly lighten above us. Eventually, we no longer needed our headlamps, and I could make out the dim shape of the steep cliff beside us. As the hour of daybreak approached nearer, I started jogging anxiously forward, hoping to catch that magical moment of dawn hitting the Grand Canyon. The trail kept switching back and forth behind a large outcropping in the cliff, and I could not get a full view of the canyon. In the distance, I could see the sun starting to hit the first tips of the distant peaks. I urged my brothers forward, trotting forward at a near gallop now, and when the trail finally led me around the final switchback and out into an unimpeded view of the canyon, I skidded to a stop. This is the vision I saw: an ancient manzanita tree catching the bright rays of the sun, mere minutes after daybreak, with the wide expanse of the canyon as the backdrop. In my painting can see the sunlight striking the top of the boulder next to the trail -- five minutes later and the entire trail was bathed in warm light. Five minutes after that, and the Grand Canyon itself was fully lit from top to bottom, and the dramatic and mystical period of dawn had passed. The colors changed rapidly from brilliant gold and purple to a dull orange and brown. I was so happy I had made it to this spot in the trail in time, and I took about a hundred photos during those subsequent minutes, recording the sun slowly descending down the canyon walls. This painting captures the moment of first light I experienced as I came around that final bend in the Grand Canyon. This painting was done over a unique underpainting: where the sunlight is hitting the mountains and tree, I applied 24kt gold leaf beneath the oil paint. The effect is subtle, but at the right angle you can see a little glimmer of gold peeking through the brushstrokes. This painting was done on 1-1/2" canvas, with the painting continued around the edges. It has been framed in a gilded and hand-carved floater frame.

Purple irises bloom unexpectedly near Oak Creek in Sedona, Arizona. I was immediately drawn to the contrast of the purple and green flowers against the dusky pink desert background. This piece is also a nod to Vincent van Gogh -- his irises painting was the reason I wanted to be an artist when I started painting in oils at the young age of 8. I love how an impressionism painting can be more beautiful than real life and capture the vivid color and motion of the outdoors with simple brush and paint.
