Saddle Mountain Sunset

“Saddle Mountain Sunset Oil” is a profound and deeply spiritual oil painting that captures the ancient essence of Saddle Mountain, Arizona. Created before “Marvin” and painted in an area rich with ancestral petroglyphs, this work is a direct testament to the artist’s felt connection with the spirits of the past who dwell there. The mountain stands not merely as a geological form, but as a sacred guardian, a place of enduring rest and protection for these ancient presences.

With a masterfully limited palette of only four colors, and literally rooted in its origin with raw sand from the site mixed into the paint, the piece offers a visceral and tactile connection to the very earth and its history. The vibrant sunset sky bathes the rugged contours of the mountain in dramatic light, hinting at the spiritual energies that permeate this timeless landscape. This painting is an invitation to pause, listen, and feel the powerful whispers of memory and spirit that endlessly resonate from the heart of the land. Signed TLM.
