Inferno at Grand Canyon’s Edge measures 18 by 24 inches and is executed in oil pastel, capturing a charged moment on the landscape’s brink. The composition concentrates on the fierce interaction between fire and earth at the canyon’s North Rim during the 2025 Dragon Bravo Fire. On the left, blazing flames surge upward in vivid yellows, oranges, and reds, their energy amplified by thick black smoke that dominates the upper space. To the right, the rugged vertical cliffs of the canyon emerge with detailed texture in rich brown and beige tones, grounding the chaos in a stark, natural structure. The depth of the canyon is suggested without direct depiction of water, emphasizing the vast, carved terrain beneath the wildfire’s threat. The dynamic contrasts of heat, smoke, and rock convey a scene that is both elemental and urgent, bearing witness to contemporary environmental impact through a painterly interpretation that balances intensity with form.
