10” x 16” Oil on Linen
16” x 22” Framed
Held in Stillness captures the final quiet moments of dusk as the last warmth of daylight lingers beneath a canopy of drifting clouds. Painted from direct observation on the Colorado plains, the composition is built upon subtle shifts of value and restrained color, where soft violets, muted blues, and warm rose tones create a sense of calm that settles over the landscape.
Rather than describing a particular place, the painting reflects the quiet experience of evening itself—a fleeting pause when the land grows still and the sky gently releases the day. Through simplified forms and carefully observed relationships of light and atmosphere, Held in Stillness invites the viewer into a moment of reflection, where beauty is found not in spectacle, but in quiet presence.
