Thrilled to hear that my entry into the prestigious annual 2024 Masterworks Show in New Mexico won Third Place in Oil/Acrylics. This is part of a new series of paintings in the Abstract Landscape category. I am trying to capture the feel of the texture of the land and the form of the cliffs all around us in New Mexico. Aspect Ratio: 1.67. Near Golden Mean (1.62). Capturing the shapes of the hills leading up to Los Alamos and the texture and the aged feeling of these ancient hills. These were visible to the World War II scientists on their way up to the Labs to work in secrecy to win the war and as Oppenheimer said, to stop future wars forever.

Painted in the studio, based on several plein air works in the past couple of years. You can read a detailed account of the development of this painting on the Radical Impressionist: A Mathematician Paints' blog at: Anatomy of a Painting - Turbulent Lands .
