Born and raised in the California deserts near Palm Springs, Naomi Brown is a self-taught artist who has been painting Western landscapes for nearly two decades. Now living in Arizona, Brown has turned her attention to the sky for some of her recent works.

“I am really enjoying painting skies lately, especially sunsets. I am having fun with saturated colors on my palette. Like deep blues and warm bright yellows,” she says. “I am trying to have a balance between realism and a contemporary approach with my landscapes. My skies are usually the main character of my painting. When

I am painting in my skies, I want it to tell a story. I want it to seem familiar and calming to the viewer. I am trying to capture that romance of colors and moods going on when we see a beautiful sunset or sunrise. Adding clouds to my paintings helps me tell a story and connect the viewer in a different way. They can be fun and whimsical or bold and intense, like a large looming, cumulonimbus cloud over a hot desert landscape. I often have people tell me they can see an animal in my clouds. This makes me happy, because it reminds me of when I was a child and remembering searching for those animals and faces in the clouds.”

Her paintings are now on view and available for purchase at Cowgirl Up! Art From the Other Half of the West at the Desert Caballeros Western Museum in Wickenburg, Arizona. —
