Blackbird Canyon Series

Blackbird Canyon

Acrylic on Gallery Canvas, 20 x 20 inches, NFS (legacy collection)

Blackbird Canyon 0 marks the very beginning of the series — the moment the horizon line, the rising sky, and the quiet geometry of the canyon first came together. It’s a simple, atmospheric study that establishes the visual language the later works expand on: soft gradients, a luminous horizon, and a sense of stillness that feels both natural and abstract.
