Description

The Chama River
Acrylic on canvas, 20 × 20 in
Loose, gestural washes of turquoise and sage describe the river’s curve through high‑desert terrain. Scrubbed‑back passages reveal the raw canvas, mimicking sun‑bleached earth, while quick, calligraphic marks suggest cottonwoods along the banks. The painting captures movement and stillness simultaneously—water winding through an ancient landscape.
