Arabella

Arabella – A Vivid Sedona Landscape with Mystical Energy

“Arabella,” Sedona’s poetic middle name, reflects the town’s vibrant pulse and spiritual mystique. According to local lore, the name was lovingly chosen by a settler enchanted by the desert’s radiant glow at twilight—giving rise to a tradition of naming places with heart and wonder.

This striking original by Sedona artist Clark Sheppard captures that same sense of enchantment. Bold brushstrokes flow across the canvas like desert wind, forming glowing skies and vividly layered terrain that pulse with light and life. The fluid motion and energy within the painting are unmistakable—viewers are often captivated by the distinctively patterned clouds, which some say resemble UFOs hovering above the horizon. What do you see?

“Arabella” is a celebration of Southwest landscape art at its most vibrant and mystical. A stunning addition to any collection of Arizona art prints or colorful artwork, this piece connects you to the soul of Sedona’s sacred beauty.

Clark Sheppard’s work is also featured at the Village Gallery and Sedona Artist Market and Gallery, both located in Sedona, AZ.
