Josh Elliott, Midnight Passage, c. 2011, oil, 30 x 30 in.

Josh Elliot continues to offer discerning and fresh images of the West. He first came to our attention with his painting of a beaverslide in Hay Season, painted during haying in his home state of Montana. His painting of a desert nocturne Midnight Passage is rare because we see so few contemporary artists tackling the complex tonal values inherent in the difficult and cumbersome process of painting by moonlight.
