This extraordinary piece, with its vibrant, brilliant colors and dynamic energy, brings the Southwestern wilderness of Sedona, AZ, to life in a way that feels almost 3D. The lone howling coyote, silhouetted against the moonlit sky, evokes the serenity and wildness of Sedona’s nights.

My journey into painting began in the most unexpected way

My story is this. I’m often asked how I started painting. I wanted to discover if I had any artistic talent, so in 1990, at age 45, I enrolled in an adult evening art class at a local N.J. high school. I first chose to work with watercolor, thinking it would be the easiest medium. I mean, how hard can it be? Just mix some pigment with water, right? However, I soon discovered it was the most challenging medium.

As a musician, I really connect with Clark, and the way he approaches creating art. His whimsical, colorful work feels the way a great song sounds—alive, instinctive, and full of rhythm. The bold palettes and playful compositions move your eye across the canvas like a melody, layered and intentional without ever feeling rigid. There’s a natural flow to his art that makes it feel both spontaneous and deeply considered.

What resonates most is the joy behind it. His pieces don’t feel overworked or overly conceptual—they feel honest. You can tell he creates because he loves to create, and that authenticity comes through in every brushstroke. As someone who shares that same drive to make something from nothing, I see his work as a reminder of why we do this in the first place: for expression, connection, and the simple magic of bringing ideas to life. It’s a joy to get to know this art, and the man who creates it. Fondly, Gina Leneé, composer/pianist.
Response from the owner:Gina, this moved me deeply—thank you. Hearing my work described through the language of music is a gift, especially coming from a composer and pianist who understands rhythm, instinct, and flow at that level. I love the idea of the eye moving across a canvas the way a melody unfolds; that’s exactly how these paintings are born for me—layer by layer, guided by feeling as much as intention.

Your words about joy and honesty truly resonated. I create because I love the act of creating, and knowing that authenticity comes through means more than any technical praise ever could. I’m grateful for the connection you felt, and for seeing both the work and the human behind it. Thank you for this beautiful reflection—it’s one I’ll carry with me.

I can’t say enough good things about this local artist! Not only is his work beautiful and unique, but he is genuinely one of the kindest and most authentic people you’ll meet. You can feel the heart and passion he puts into every piece, and they take the time to truly connect with his community. Supporting his work feels good because you know it’s coming from someone who truly cares about his craft and his passion!! Highly recommend checking him out!
Response from the owner:Erin, wow—thank you. Hearing that the heart and passion behind the work come through means everything to me. Connecting with people and being part of this community is just as important to me as the paintings themselves, so your words really landed. I’m deeply grateful for your support and encouragement—and as a small thank-you, I always offer a free art giveaway for those who follow along. Your kindness truly fuels my journey.

On a rainy afternoon in Sedona, we stumbled into this gem of a store! It is filled with beautiful and locally crafted jewelry and beautiful artwork! Clark was especially helpful, friendly, and lovely to chat with, as we learned about his own artwork in the shop. My mother and I found it hard to decide which painting of his we liked the most! Luckily he has an arrary of items with his art to choose from. Clark's work is so colorful and mesmerizing. He truly captures the spirit of Sedona in a magical way through his art. This store was a delight!
Response from the owner:Lori, thank you so much for sharing this—it truly means a lot. A rainy Sedona afternoon turning into a memorable discovery is exactly the kind of magic I love hearing about. I’m so glad you and your mother enjoyed exploring the artwork and spending time chatting; those conversations are one of my favorite parts of being in the gallery. Knowing the color and spirit of my Sedona southwest paintings resonated with you both is incredibly rewarding. Thank you for the kind words and for stopping by Village Gallery—it was a genuine pleasure meeting you.

Southwest vibrant and Dimensional Watercolors was the first medium I used, before oils and acrylics. Initially, my technique was to meticulously add bold black outlines and layer many colors. The result? Extraordinary and colorful watercolors radiating with vibrant energy, infusing each memorable piece with luminous allure.
