City Lights Mirage30in x 40in Oil, Spray Paint and Crayon on Canvas (framed) SOLD Please contact the Gallery for more information. In my painting, City Lights Mirage, Im striving to push the boundaries of expressionist realism. The desert landscape, with its iconic silhouette against the night sky, inspired me to experiment with non objective approaches while maintaining a subtle sense of representation. The interplay of saguaro cacti forms creates an abstract pattern,

where certain hues play off one another

This painting captures the essence of a John Deere tractor standing proudly in front of a vibrant red barn

"Barn at Dawn's Edge" evokes the strong ties of community and family bonds

with an uplifting

The distant city lights merge with the hues of the nightscape

or to simply stand still and take it in

offering a tranquil escape into the enchanting beauty of the desert

True to James Ayers’s signature style

especially with the broad field of yellow

The painting was finished when I added a flourish of blue spray paint at the bottom left
