Although equally talented in oils
and watercolors, Cavin’s primary
focus is on oil painting, particularly
the landscape. The immediacy and
directness of his work emphasize the
strength and grandeur of nature
while his use of color defines the
gentleness and beauty he finds in the
natural world.
C Cavin These qualities, coupled with his keen ob-
servation, create a clarity and sensitivity
in his work that truly express the emo-
tional qualities of his environment.
Cliff Cavin is a landscape purist, dedicated
to the capturing of light. Red Carpet entrance,

GOLDEN
SHADOWS
In “Golden Shadows”, Cavin portrays a cerulean skyline; full of crepuscular light, enraptured with billows of atmospheric haze, lingering on the dying days of summer sentimentality. The autumn blossoming of the Chamisa, with its golden bloom accents this stellar impressionistic landscape painting of Nambe, New Mexico; backdropped by the Sangre de Christo Mountains. Winding stretches of desert sand obscured by dense patches of typical New Mexico vegetation invite the viewer into a foreground bathed in aureate shrubbery. The silhouetted mountain range transforms into a strip of neutral value and tone, easing the transition between the earthly divisions. Derived from over three decades of careful study, Cliff knows that an object in the distance will shift toward blue because it does not reflect as much light. He revs down his color palette by taking cues from the masters like Leonardo da Vinci who noticed that as a landscape recedes from the viewer its colors and tones alter (aerial perspective or atmospheric perspective).

Cliff Cavin visually nourishes the viewer of the Perdenales
Valley with two views of autumn: that time of year when
nature offers the abundance of color that invigorates
optimism. The seasonal view is fleeting as seen in the
contrast of the two paintings. The leaves and water lessen in
quantity, but the time of day offers beauty that only the
setting sun can embrace. The oranges, yellows, and purples
of the skyline repeat the colors of autumn found in the
vegetation and beckon us to another cycle of daylight and
beauty in the Texas Hill Country.
In Perdenales Sky the harmony of evening is in deep
saturated tones as nightfall arrives. The meandering river
leads diagonally to the burst of fall color, to the gorge, the
plateau and finally the sky. The rough terrain is punctuated by
native growth that seeks moisture in the rain faceted rugged
elevations leading upward to the clear sky.

PERDENALES
AUTUMN
In Perdenales Autumn the
smooth reflecting water is en-
closed by rough textured boul-
ders and a stand of trees in sea-
sonal color. As the trees curve
one is invited beyond that which
is seen. A singular tree stands
guard as if to announce wel-
come to the change of season.
The two paintings by Cliff Cavin
document in artistic form the
passing of time and the changes
that only a natural life force can
produce. We are privileged to
share his view, the bold and ju-
bilant strokes of paint, and the
optimism in which Cliff invites
us. The two paintings honor
change and time and embrace
the desire to acknowledge it as
Cliff Cavin shares his impression
of the Perdenales Valley.
