Pecos River

Pecos River captures the untamed energy of one of northern New Mexico’s most beloved mountain rivers. Sunlight dances across rushing water as it surges over smooth granite boulders, revealing layers of turquoise, emerald, and deep blue beneath the white foam. Rather than depicting a single moment, the painting explores the rhythm and movement of water itself—its constant flow, shifting reflections, and life-giving presence.

Inspired by time spent hiking and painting in the mountains of New Mexico, this work celebrates the beauty found in wild places where light, water, and stone have shaped the landscape for centuries.
