Monument Valley Moonrise by Steve Atkinson
Medium: Original Oil on Linen Board
Measurements: 8"w x 10"h 14 1/2"w x 16 1/2"h Framed
Watch the desert come alive as day surrenders to night. Monument Valley Moonrise captures that magical moment when the landscape transforms—the luminous moon rising against a canvas painted in vivid, contrasting hues of evening. Soft brushstrokes render the iconic buttes in warm ochres and deep purples, while the sky glows with brilliant oranges and cool blues that dance across the horizon. This original oil painting on linen board draws you into the quiet drama of the American West, where light and shadow play together in perfect balance. A moment of contemplation frozen in time, inviting you to linger in the beauty of the high desert at dusk.
Steve Atkinson, OPA
At my very core, I’m a storyteller and I strive to infuse my paintings with those stories that excite me. Stories of the American west are always front and center. Cowboys, cattle, action scenes and moments of quiet contemplation are what I love. The authenticity of historical scenes or telling the story of today’s working cowboy is essential to my work. It’s really all about what the painting has to say that makes it personal and unique. Most days I can be found in painting in my studio, but I also love to paint en plein air. Since 2009, I have made my home in Prescott, Arizona, in the very heart of the subject matter that fills my soul.

I’m proud that I’ve made my living, but also my life in Art. As long as I can remember, I’ve had a sketchbook in my hands, surrounding myself in nature and drawing the world around me. Growing up in an Ohio steel town, I knew even then that I would make my home in the American West as an artist. I attended Kent State University to study fine art, but changed my major to illustration when I figured out I could support myself through art, right out of school. For the next 25 years I made my living as an illustrator, creating images for fortune 500 companies and magazines across the US. It was a great career and I loved it, but always yearned to become a fine artist, making pictures that moved me, and others who saw them. Along the way, I took classes and workshops from the best fine artists teaching today, and in 2008, realized my dream to become a full-time fine artist. Today, my work is found in collections throughout the United States and Europe.
