Albuquerque No. 2 (Night)

The Sandia Mountains stand silhouetted against the pre-dawn sky, their dark mass anchoring a composition of banded clouds and shifting color. Horizontal layers of atmosphere echo the meditative abstraction of Rothko—soft edges, luminous transitions, and a quiet intensity that invites contemplation.

This painting captures the threshold moment before sunrise, when the high desert holds its breath and the sky becomes a study in gradation and light. A landscape distilled to its essential elements: earth, air, and the space between.
