Young - Sedona Landscape
A
study in color, energy and movement in nature
Much
is said about Sedona both in the beauty that it emits and the spiritual energy
it is said to exude. Both are true, the beautiful red-rocks are awe-inspiring
and spiritually energetic. The delicious colors seem to filter and dance
through the sun showing off its stunning red-orange, cyan and verdigris colors
as breezes move and whip through the miles of peaks and valleys, like children playing
on a playground. This mountain desert backdrop is customized as the sun changes
its position in the sky – the colors become deeper or lighter, more vibrant or
quieter depending on the time of day. I have to admit, my visit to Sedona was
in part out of some curiosity about the theories of the Vortex in Sedona –
perhaps I was anticipating some kind of awakening or worldly revelation. As I quickly
discovered, the beauty of the Red Rocks and unique vegetation that lie in the
Coconino Forest made this New Age theory a distant and less relevant one. I did experience an unexplainable vision and
sensation as I looked over the ledge of the canyon to view this splendor – it was
breathtaking and this vision did indeed awaken an inner spirit. Was this the
result of a Vortex or was this the result of swelling emotions after seeing
something so grand that even my mind’s eye had been tricked. My encounter was indeed
a spiritual one, but not in the way I had imagined it would be. Looking at and
taking in this landscape, allowing myself to image the unseen or unknown forces
that carved and created this magnificent sculpture left me speechless, peaceful
and awakened. I was unsure if I was going to paint from my experience, but
after reflecting on my day in this Red Rock palace I found I desired to do just
that. These paintings reflect my day journey to the Red Rock Country of
Arizona’s northwestern high desert region. And is my way of paying homage to all
the beauty and wonderment this magical place gifted me from dawn to dusk on
that single day.
