Jumping Jack

In Kathryn Stedham's "Jumping Jack," the New Mexican desert is home to bushels of canary yellow chamisa. The chamisa plant partially conceals a running Jack Rabbit, casting its shadow over him. 

The rabbit's golden eye reflects a sense of joy and wonderment, as he frolics in a graceful direction. A cerulean sky enlivens the dark shadows in the piece, while a light tan mountain grounds the composition.
