Are you looking for a painting that evokes quiet reflections on nature, stillness, and place? Ascending View offers that quiet clarity. 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.
