A Heron's Sunset Sculpture

Untitled Painting by Japhy Czysz

Oil over acrylic painting on canvas, 18” x 24”, by Japhy Czysz, AWS Graduate 2002. This painting is inspired by the landscape of the Southwest, specifically in Arizona and Utah. I camped on National Forest land this past Winter and Spring, working on a series of smaller water colors. There is so much rock, in many colors and shades; it is a land of potential. What will form from all that rock once it erodes and breaks down into soil? How many such cycles has it been through, and what was it before? I found myself looking at all the rock as being very much alive. Once I had that breakthrough in my outlook, I no longer saw the land as cold and hard. I started to see it as being the same stuff I am made of, just in a different stage of development. My goal is to create art with attention to the Earth, again and again, with caring and respect.
