About the Item

Ronnie Hedge's artwork, "Return to Earth," masterfully captures the tranquility and grandeur of one of nature's most iconic landscapes—the Grand Canyon. Through his hyperrealistic technique, Hedge invites viewers to immerse themselves in a serene moment where the gentle flow of dark blue waters meanders through the warm, red canyons. The striking contrast between the tranquil water and the ominous, stormy clouds overhead creates a dynamic tension, evoking a sense of anticipation and awe. Hedge's meticulous attention to detail breathes life into every element of the painting, from the delicate ripples in the water to the intricate textures of the canyon walls. His use of light and shadow enhances the emotional depth of the scene, drawing viewers into a contemplative state—a hallmark of hyperrealism that elevates the art-buying experience. The piece comes framed in a gold ornate frame with a burl liner. Paintings by R.W. Hedge are in some of the finest collections nationwide. Being totally self-taught, he has developed a unique and exciting style that continues to capture the attention of art lovers everywhere. Painting with a passion for the beautiful, natural wonders of America, Hedge’s originals portray the pristine wilderness we all wish to preserve. R.W. Hedge was born in Tyler, Texas, on June 5, 1954. He makes his home in the Dallas- Ft. Worth area, but has traveled extensively and lived in other states such as Arizona and Colorado to gain knowledge and inspiration for his works. Though he appreciates all mediums, R.W. has devoted his talent to painting originals in oils, what he calls “real paintings.” He studies the details of his subjects for accuracy, and combines that with the atmosphere and feeling of being there in person. "Sometimes I'm tempted to 'back off’ on the color a little bit, you know, I want the painting to be believable. But I do have to be true to myself." R.W. refers to the breathtaking places in America as “God's best work,” and paints them at their precise moment of perfection, when the contrast and colors are most inviting. Sadly at age 55, he passed away in his Oklahoma home on April 16th, 2010.
