When Logan Maxwell Hagege takes a road trip to one of the deserts around his Southern California home, he doesn’t notice the endless grains of sand. He doesn’t see each of the individual rocks scattered around the landscape. He\’s not impressed by the wispy, feathery clouds drifting across the bright blue sky. Instead, he focuses on a single white cloud, a wide, flattened mesa, a sea of golden sand.

Between The Sage And The Sky
Oil
40″ By 60″
In my mind, the sagebrush that is found in the desert is as important as the clouds, the big skies, and the rock formations. The title simply refers to where the figures in this painting find themselves and, I suppose, where all of us are for our time on this earth.

Evening Song
Oil
72″ By 96″
This is one of the larger paintings I have done. I wanted that sunset light to take over the entire picture. I tried to simplify this picture down to only what was necessary. With the scale of the painting being so large, it was important that it have a strong impact from across the room.
