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.

Billowing stacks of clouds catch the last light of the golden hour and give the whole landscape an apricot glow. This painting is alive with color and motion--each brushstroke of oil paint placed side by side is emotive and free, expressing the luminous colors of sunset.

I think my favorite view of the Grand Canyon is from Hopi Point on the South Rim. From here, you are more isolated from the crowds, especially at dawn. You can see all the way down to the turquoise waters of the Colorado River. Since Hopi Point is on a protrusion out into the canyon, it feels like you are surrounded by almost 360 degrees of stunning canyon. As the sun slowly clears the horizon, the colors and shadows quickly change during Arizona's desert golden hour light.

Saguaro National Park is one of my favorite places to visit in Arizona. The towering cacti, blooming scrub, and ocotillo are so beautiful in the early morning light. This painting captures my love for the desert with thick, impressionistic brushstrokes of oil paint that create a mosaic of texture and light across the canvas. In my Open Impressionist technique, I try not to overlap my brushstrokes, which keeps my paintings fresh and painterly.

Hiking through Canyon de Chelly is a much more personal experience than in the Grand Canyon. Often, I am all alone, surrounded by steep canyon cliffs on all sides. Every turn in the trail opens up a new vista of running water, green cottonwood trees, and pink sandstone. If you are lucky, you can see ancient carvings and homes carved into the side of the cliffs.

The last time I visited the Four Corners region of the Colorado Plateau was several years ago. The big, beautiful blue sky was full of white fluffy clouds--the perfect high desert weather. I took photos of Monument Valley from a few miles away, watching the clouds pass shadows over the red rock buttes below. I printed this photo when I returned from my trip, and I have been wanting to paint it ever since. When I paint, I try to recapture what it felt like to actually stand there, my feet sinking into the warm, soft red sand, a breeze ruffling my hair, squinting into the sky, and feeling surrounded by beautiful color 360 degrees around me.

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.

The Grand Canyon is a painter's paradise... every morning and every sunset the canyon looks different. This painting was inspired by an early morning out at Hopi Point. As the clouds moved slowly overhead, the first rays of dawn shot through the cloud layer and illuminated the canyon below in an ever-changing dance of color and light. I used thick, expressive strokes of oil paint to capture the strength and majesty of the vista.

The recognizably rainbow hues of the Grand Canyon pop from the canvas in this oil painting by American impressionist Erin Hanson. The thickly-laden brush strokes create rhythms of texture across the desert landscape. This piece was created in Hanson's signature Open Impressionism technique, with a hint of van Gogh and a dash of plein air style. "Amethyst Light" is an original oil painting created on stretched canvas. The piece arrives framed in a contemporary gold floater frame, ready to hang.

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.

This painting captures the restful scenery and sense of wide-open space you experience here. 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.

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.
