Asleson (NFS) Arizona has a mythical quality as my birthplace and where I was adopted. Every time I’ve visited, I’d look for someone who shared my eyes. (I didn’t find family there, but that’s another story). I feel at home in the desert, marvel at the breadth of color in the electric blue sky, and long for leisurely time to walk and paint the paths along the Phoenix area parks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/1a1c9d3d-ccdb-4d44-9d89-39daa3b30217/2025.008+Fathers.png Commissions A painting titled 'Fathers' by R. Asleson, created in 2025, depicts two men sitting on chairs along a lakeshore, viewed through a natural setting with trees and leaves. The scene shows a calm lake with a distant treeline under a partly cloudy sky. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/d0674c55-a3d9-4c34-b307-dafea7f59809/2024.006+Presence+is+Enough.png Commissions 2024.004 Presence is Enough Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 18 inches, 2024 – R. Asleson (NFS) Four figures stand arm in arm on a dock, gazing over a quiet lake. Rendered in a soft, memory-washed palette, the scene captures the warmth of summer and the quiet power of connection. The dock is slightly askew and symbolizes both grounding and transition. Presence is Enough invites us to pause and remember the simple beauty of being together. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/e1843cee-6fb2-4602-bc54-46e43e973076/2025.009+Plenty+of+Promise.png Commissions 2025.009 Plenty of Promise 24x48 inches, acrylic on canvas ($1,200) Plenty of Promise explores the tension between colonial views of land as commodity and a more reciprocal, relational understanding of the earth. The structured fields above contrasts with the energetic, abstract grasses below showing a shift from control to connection. Inspired by Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer, the work invites reflection on how I might reclaim a respectful, reciprocal relationship with the land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/32fe3df5-b510-4bf3-a996-584c1733934b/2024.004+Slip+Into+the+Woods+My+Love.png Commissions 024.004 Slip into the Woods My Love, R. Asleson, 2024 (NFS) I sought to capture temporal presence and the memory of light through stylized forms and a layered palette. It’s a love note to nature, and the tension of belonging felt in the woods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/a7c15f49-2e20-48be-8bd9-73e6c03f5a35/2025.007+Adolescent+Arborescent+%28a+self+portrait%29.png Commissions 2025.007 Adolescent Arborescent (a self portrait) 48x38 acrylic on canvas, NFS A personal exploration of transformation that reflects both the commissioners’ environmental renewal and my own early evolution as an artist. Beneath the forest’s greens and golds lies a neon pink underpainting—an homage to my 1980s adolescence, where hyper color and emotional intensity shaped my visual instincts. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/19f3e336-deff-47e7-b8ce-30dd9e32e685/2024003+Memory+in+Sunlight.png Commissions 2024.003 Memory in Sunlight, 24x18 acrylic on panel, NFS Memory in Sunlight is a nod to my wife's childhood memories at her grandparents' lakeside cabin, captured from a 1966 photograph. The screened-in porch was central to life at the lake where family gathered, dined, played and slept. The cabin no longer stands but lives here through color, light and memory. Cherished places shape us, even after they are gone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/1976ebb9-0c4b-413a-bd7f-93e340004671/2023.002+Locken+Barn.png Commissions 2023.002 Locken Barn, 48x38 inches, acrylic on canvas, NFS The work is portrait of place and memory from my aunt’s photo of the family farm. Central in the landscape of my childhood, the barn is real and a site of wonder, unease, and a source of generations of stories. I sought to capture how it feels, not just looks. The land holds story, and structures become containers of identity, emotion, and perspective. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/21a1d07a-c0f3-4fc3-9067-e1fc728fe50f/2025.011+Ambit+of+Light+20x10.png Commissions 2025.011 Ambit of Light (Visual Territory) R.Asleson, 2025, 20x10" acrylic on canvas, NFS https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/3974d113-1909-465c-959c-229a6ee299f9/2024003+Memory+in+Sunlight.png https://www.rasleson.art/2025007 daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/a7c15f49-2e20-48be-8bd9-73e6c03f5a35/2025.007+Adolescent+Arborescent+%28a+self+portrait%29.png https://www.rasleson.art/2024003 daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/19f3e336-deff-47e7-b8ce-30dd9e32e685/2024003+Memory+in+Sunlight.png https://www.rasleson.art/2023002 daily 0.75 2026-05-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/442299b6-b44e-46dc-9851-7401cdc99eea/2023.002+Locken+Barn.png https://www.rasleson.art/2026012 daily 0.75 2026-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/b3ba9719-b3bd-4053-80c3-6c4d48d2d0a7/2026.012+Where+the+Wolds+Roam.png https://www.rasleson.art/contact daily 0.75 2026-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69ff404b2d985540471157da/ff833c08-8fc9-4587-869e-efb480368237/Cropped.png
