Dance of Ocotillos Painting

The long stalks of the ocotillo cactus stretch tall into a desert sky full of sunset color. The rolling clouds tumble in the wind, changing hues as the sun dips lower towards the horizon. To capture the movement and vivacity of this scene, as I perceived it in person, I used long, loose brush strokes and bold color that awakens the senses. This painting has been framed in a hand-carved, one-of-a-kind frame that has been hand-gilded in genuine gold leaf. This frame is a beautiful blend of classic American impressionist frames and contemporary "floater frames," just as my style is a unique blend of the classic and contemporary. The frame is designed to stand away from the edge of the canvas, leaving a 1/4" gap around the painting, which allows you to experience every brush stroke on the canvas.
