This vertical composition features a rich blue sky fading to soft light, framing a lone juniper perched atop Western red rock cliffs. James brings a contemporary edge to this timeless subject through bold brushwork, spray paint, and crayon—his signature mix of modern mark-making and natural form. The result is both grounded and expansive, honest yet sparse. For collectors and homeowners seeking a piece that brings reflection and depth into any space, Ascending View offers a quiet moment of strength. The solitary juniper stands like a sentinel—anchored in stone, reaching toward sky—reminding us of what endures. Drawn to solitary trees and quiet strength?
