“Color and light are everything in a painting.”

So says Tom Murray, whose paintings are proof of his belief in that statement. They are alive with color, whether he is depicting sundown over a canyon, spring in the desert, or the majesty of the Grand Canyon. Viewers are immediately drawn to the vibrancy of his work—red clouds, purple mountains, the explosion of color that is both exciting and mesmerizing.

It’s no surprise that Murray’s paintings have captured the attention—and enthusiasm—of collectors throughout the country, who eagerly await each new work.
