Canyon Off Rt 528 Outside Rio Rancho On Way To Farmington NM

I used to drive this route home from work every day, and this canyon always caught my eye. No matter the season or the light, it had this bold, sculpted beauty that felt like it had a story to tell. One day I finally pulled over, took a photo, and decided to paint it. I wanted to capture those sharp edges, the way the land folds in on itself, and the quiet power it carries. It’s a place I’ll never forget.
