“Retrochoir” 11x14 acrylic on canvas. This painting is the back view of the Cathedral Rock trail end in Sedona, AZ. The front view is breathtaking, but looking back, Sedona’s iconic rock forms stand in the distance, cathedral-like in their own way. In actual cathedrals, a retrochoir is the area tucked behind the altar. Not always the focal point, but still an architectural stand out.✨ Part of what I love so much about desert landscapes is that they beg you to look around. Sometimes the most inspiring view is the one behind you. #desertlandscape #sedonahiking #sedonapainting #abstractlandscapepainting #abstractlandscape #redrockcanyon #sedonavortex #artinprogress #paintingprocess #maddiereissart #vortexcollection #landscapepainter #landscapeartist #highcontrast #vibrantart #retrochoir (at Cathedral Rock) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnZuTeEOjuC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
