The plethora of spectacular and majestic spots scattered across the vast western lands has led us to expect these grandiose elements in our art. But the universe is just as present in a grain of sand, or here, in a patch of sand littered with eroded boulders and bits of the living desert’s flotsam. We may travel through mile after mile of natural wonders, without looking at them, on our way to a national park, or traverse a spider web of water-carved features on the drive to Lake Powell. In their paintings, Mark Knudsen and Leslie Thomas invite us to slow down and actually look around us.

Thank you, Geoff, for your positive review of our work. Your depth of art knowledge and broad interests make the review all the more valuable to us both.
And thanks to Gerry for the photos.
And to Shawn and all your contributors for the magazine.
