Crimson Battalion, Minneapolis

New Art and Other News /

Crimson Battalion, Minneapolis is a vivid autumn scene of red trees in formation at Gold Medal Park—a quiet greenspace tucked into downtown Minneapolis’s Mississippi National River & Recreation Area. Viewed head-on, the scene delivers vivid color and a striking contrast between nature’s order and the edge of the surrounding urban grid. It captures a moment of seasonal symmetry and quiet strength. Late October in Minneapolis offers fleeting blazes of color—this image freezes that moment in time.  As with many other works in the Indigo Artistic collection, Crimson Battalion, Minneapolis invites the viewer to reflect on the balance between natural rhythm and urban structure. Gold Medal Park is a part of the US National Park System.  For more info, visit https://www.nps.gov/miss/planyourvisit/goldmedal.htm Crimson Battalion, Minneapolis

Grand Canyon 2: Frozen in Formation

New Art and Other News /

Grand Canyon 2 – Frozen in Formation:  Captured near the start of my hike along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, this image was taken at Trailview Overlook. The granite formations reminded me of dollops of frozen soft-serve ice cream—shaped by time, yet playfully sculptural. The title reflects that duality: a nod to both the sweet visual metaphor and the geological truth that these structures are, quite literally, frozen in time—etched by the slow, relentless forces of nature.

Grand Canyon 1: River Carved Chasm Beneath a Textured Sky

New Art and Other News /

This spring, I took my first trip to the Grand Canyon, and it was every bit as spectacular in person as photos and postcards suggest. The sky was a mix of sun and clouds, creating patterns and lighting that shifted from subtle to dramatic above the vast expanse of the Canyon. I spent hours hiking along the South Rim, from the Bright Angel Trailhead to Pima Point, stopping often to take in the views and capture photographs. With so many striking scenes, it was hard to choose which images to feature. This one is one of my favorites, and was taken from Pima Point, looking north.

Mount Sopris Above the Shadow Line

New Art and Other News /

Late afternoon on a warm spring day in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, I hiked the steep Red Mountain Trail. I anticipated that the setting sun behind Red Mountain might create some interesting light—and it didn’t disappoint. The sun lit up the snowcapped twin peaks of Mount Sopris, while Red Mountain’s shadow stretched across the foreground, darkening the valley below and the fast-moving Roaring Fork River.   Mount Sopris Above the Shadow Line

Golden Freighter Passing Through the Golden Gate

New Art and Other News /

During my recent trip through the American West, I visited San Francisco for the first time in several years.  Hiking at the Presidio is something I’ve always wanted to do, and I finally got the chance to do it.  The expansive views of the Pacific Ocean and the Golden Gate Bridge are magical.  While enjoying a view of the bridge from a high overlook, a similarly golden colored freighter was passing under the bridge through the Golden Gate strait.

Rocky Mountain High, Colorado

New Art and Other News /

On a recent journey through the American West, Colorado stood out as a major highlight. For six days, John Denver’s “Rocky Mountain High” played on a loop in my mind — a fitting title for this piece. This image was captured from the train as it passed through Tabernash, nestled between Granby and Fraser. In the distance, the snow-capped summits of Bills and Byers Peaks rise to nearly 13,000 feet, anchoring the landscape. In the foreground, the Fraser River winds gently through a vibrant thicket of willow shrubs, adding movement, color and warmth to the early spring stillness.   Rocky Mountain High, Colorado

Curved Path, Sharp Lines: Minneapolis Reimagined

New Art and Other News /

“Curved Path, Sharp Lines: Minneapolis Reimagined” highlights Minneapolis’ transformation, where repurposed industrial landmarks stand beside modern skyscrapers.  Taken from the iconic Stone Arch Bridge, this piece captures an iconic view of a city where history is preserved and repurposed for the modern era. The historic North Star Woolen Mill and Crown Roller Mill, once industrial powerhouses, now serve new purposes while standing proudly against the city’s evolving skyline. Warm sunlight accentuates the architectural contrasts, while the bridge’s elegant curve draws the viewer into a scene where past and future meet. A perfect addition for lovers of urban landscapes, industrial charm, and the spirit of renewal that defines Minneapolis. Curved Path, Sharp Lines: Minneapolis Reimagined

Cold Moon, No Stars

New Art and Other News /

This piece is a bit different from much of my other work.  In “Cold Moon, No Stars, the haunting echo of a disturbing dream awakened me in the middle of a frigid winter night. Disoriented, I rose from the bed, took a few steps, and turned around. The light of December’s “Cold Moon”, full and undiluted, shone through the clear night sky, hauntingly illuminating my empty bed. When I looked at the photo the next day, the unsettling emotions of the dream resurfaced. The image and the eerie atmosphere felt almost Lynchian. Exactly one month later, David Lynch left this earth, but his art endures. This piece, and the emotions it evokes, are in memory of him. “Cold Moon” is the name of the December Full Moon.  “No Stars”—a haunting track from Twin Peaks: The Return—best captures the feeling of this image, and a bright full moon, such as this one, will prevent the stars in its region of the sky from appearing.  “No Stars”, from Rebekah Del Rio’s website, can be found on this page: https://rebekahdelrio.com/listen   Cold Moon, No Stars

An Impressionistic Take on the Tappan Zee Bridge

New Art and Other News /

This impressionistic take on the Tappan Zee Bridge (officially called the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge), captured at the start of an early morning train journey from New York to Montreal, evokes the soft brushstrokes of an impressionist painting. The interplay of early morning light, heavy moisture in the air, and the impact of the train window glass created uniquely perfect conditions, resulting in a dreamy interpretation of the iconic bridge. This is the fourth and final photo in our Hudson River series, celebrating the beauty of this storied region. An Impressionistic Take on the Tappan Zee Bridge

The Hudson River as a Mirror

New Art and Other News /

Riding the train along an isolated section of the Hudson River in Columbia County, New York, we passed a narrow spit of land extending into the calm, reflective water. On this still, clear autumn day, the tiny dwelling perched on the spit seems like an idyllic retreat—a place to savor morning coffee while admiring the perfect mirror of hills, clouds, and trees. The spit and the small structure are also gently reflected in the glassy surface, adding to the tranquility of the scene. This serene reflection captures the quiet beauty and peaceful stillness of the moment.  This is the third piece of four in our Hudson River series. The Hudson River as a Mirror
