Raising Arizona is a highly contemporary four piece Canvas Art Set: Aerial Landscape Art barely existed before the turn of the twentieth century. Flight is a modern phenomenon that has (quite literally) changed our perspective of the world we live in. Of course landscapes have been a popular subject for Western Artists and collectors for many centuries: Imaginary, arranged compositions as well as realist land and seascapes have been revered by both consistently throughout the ages – Therefore, in many ways Landscape Canvas Art Works could never be regarded as trendy: And yet Raising Arizona is most definitely the latest in landscape art for the twenty first century.

The use of warm earth tones and simple black and white translucent overlays immediately brings dry desert environment Southern Arizona is so widely known for. Before the twentieth century and before the advent of the hot air balloon and photography some did create aerial paintings of towns as they perceived them to look from overhead. These oil paintings would feature more important buildings, such as the Church, somewhat larger than life which created a curious perspective. The grey and white highlighted forms in Raising Arizona give a similar perspective to this oil painting. This takes Raising Arizona away from photographic, functional map like imagery: This is a work of art, an oil painting that has been produced for its aesthetics not functionality: And indeed, it is a visually pleasing and interesting composition.
