Black Canyon of the Gunnison
Painted Horizons by Payton James is a collection of abstract landscapes inspired by the awe, tension, and stillness found in America’s national parks. These pieces invite you to pause—between peaks and plateaus, shadows and light—and witness the liminal power of nature.
This acrylic piece glows with added color and radiant light, set against the sharp contrast of deep canyon walls. Slight texture from Mica flakes gives the surface a raw, mineral edge—mirroring the dramatic drop below.
