Terry Daugherty Canyon Landscape (1982) | Northern Nevada Oil Painting
Viridian Eclection
The Piece
A narrow volcanic canyon opens onto a high desert basin, with a distant valley and low mountain range beyond under an open sky. Steep rock walls frame the view vertically, creating a natural aperture that draws the eye into the distance. The canyon walls are built in thick, textured strokes that describe rock and erosion, while the valley floor and sky are painted more sparingly, so mass gives way to depth. The terrain closely resembles Northern Nevada country such as High Rock Canyon. The canvas is presented in a wood frame with a linen liner.
History & Provenance
Signed “Terry Daugherty” and dated ’82 in the paint layer. The painter has not been identified in the published record.

Why It Belongs in Your Home
A vertical anchor with real physical presence, best enjoyed up close where the texture of the rock walls comes alive. Its restrained desert palette suits a study, a hallway or any room that wants weight without brightness.
Keep it out of direct sun and away from heat and humidity. Dust the frame with a soft, dry brush, and leave any cleaning of the painted surface to a conservator.
