Near Wagon Mound, NM - Realistic Landscape Oil Painting
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
Aeling’s fascination with meteorology is unmistakable in this dramatic skyscape. Since his earliest years in the West, he has been captivated by weather’s capacity to alter the emotional temperature of a landscape. In this painting, the low, turbulent cloudbank reveals his deep knowledge of sky structures—an understanding informed by both scientific observation and personal experience. The luminous blue patches above suggest hope breaking through uncertainty, a recurring theme in his atmospheric work.

Jeff Aeling (1958–2025): The Sky Remembers
Through Jeff Aeling’s eyes, the landscape becomes a world shaped as much by air as by earth. In works such as North of Las Vegas, NM and Pond Near St. Cloud, MN, he balances the quiet structure of plains and wetlands with skies alive in constant motion. His mastery of atmosphere is unmistakable in Light Pillars (2023) and Light Pillar (2023), where rare optical events turn night into architecture. Even intimate scenes like Crabapple, Dogwoods, and Red Bud find their emotional power under skies that lend the land its shifting character.
Aeling’s winters in Hawaii deepened his sensitivity to movement and weather. Surfing taught him to read the rhythm of the ocean, a knowledge reflected in Wave, Kauai (2018), where a breaking wave becomes a luminous wall of force. In Volcano (2023), he channels the islands’ elemental drama, linking fire, vapor, and sky through the same atmospheric vocabulary found in his plains paintings...

Pond Late Afternoon - Realistic Landscape Oil Painting
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
Here, Aeling revisits the Midwestern marshlands that have long informed his sense of natural structure. The clustering of trees along the waterline hints at the intricate ecology of riparian zones—a subject he has studied through countless field excursions. The soft cloud cover overhead adds a sense of atmospheric density, contrasting with the crisp detail of grasses below. As in much of his work, this landscape becomes a meditation on endurance: land that has witnessed centuries of seasonal cycles.

Tangled Tree - Luminous Oil Painting of Tree
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
This intimate woodland scene connects to Aeling’s lifelong exploration of the hidden, overlooked spaces within larger landscapes. The twisting vines and dense verticals show his fascination with natural complexity, reminiscent of his early interest in organic forms and his deep study of drawing from life. The luminous clearing in the distance creates a path of visual escape—one of Aeling’s characteristic compositional strategies, reflecting his belief that landscapes should guide the viewer through space as a lived experience, not merely a view.

Glass of Milk - Still-life Oil Painting with Glass of Milk
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
Aeling’s still life with a glass of milk is a masterclass in clarity and restraint. It brightens one of the core truths of his practice: that light is the subject of every painting, whether cast across a mountain range or contained within a simple vessel. The circular reflections beneath the glass recall his love of geometry within nature—how arcs, rings, and contours emerge from light’s interaction with form. This piece echoes the quiet intensity of his earliest studio work, grounding his expansive landscapes in the discipline of looking closely.

Meadow in Snow - Snowscape Oil Painting
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
Aeling’s affinity for the Great Plains—rooted in decades of traveling the Dakotas, Wyoming, and eastern Colorado—emerges in this broad expanse of snow under a crystalline winter sky. The almost abstract simplicity of the forms recalls the painter’s belief that landscape can be reduced to elemental relationships: light to shadow, land to air, distance to nearness. The softness of the snow’s surface belies the severity of the environment. As in many of his winter scenes, Aeling captures both the emptiness and the quiet majesty of western space.

Sunset Aliomanu Bay, Kauai - Water and Sky Meet with Sun Kissed Clouds
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
Aeling’s fascination with atmospheric drama—rooted in his childhood in the American West, where weather dominates the horizon—finds powerful expression in this seascape. The low line of the ocean reinforces the artist’s signature device: vast, open skies that dwarf the land below. Yet the work also reflects a more personal history: Aeling’s enduring love of Hawaii, where he spent many winters surfing and studying the Pacific’s shifting moods. Those days on the water deepened his awareness of how ocean and sky interact, how storms gather, dissolve, and re-form with astonishing rapidity. The painting captures that moment when light changes direction and the boundary between calm and impending weather becomes charged with meaning. His precise modulation of color and temperature recalls his study of 19th-century luminists, yet the lived experience of Hawaiian surf breaks gives the scene an immediacy and authenticity that is distinctly his own.

Pine Trunks and Mineral Springs, Yellowstone - Encaustic Snowscape Painting
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
This scene echoes Aeling’s earlier years exploring Yellowstone and the northern Rockies, where geothermal landscapes and severe winters formed a visual laboratory for him. The stark verticals of dead trees rising through steam and snow evoke the quiet violence of natural forces—eruption, freeze, regrowth. Aeling often spoke of landscapes as records of time, and this painting exemplifies that belief: it is both serene and charged with memory, documenting a terrain shaped by fire, water, and cold.
That sense of elemental transformation is deepened by the medium itself. This is the only encaustic painting found in his studio following his death—a rare departure from his familiar oil technique. The wax-based process, involving heat, layering, and an almost geological buildup of surface, mirrors the very forces depicted in the scene. It stands as a singular artifact in his oeuvre, a final and poignant testament to his fascination with how material, time, and natural forces converge.

Pines and Cloud near Denver - Realistic Landscape Oil Painting with Big Clouds
By Jeff Aeling
Located in Chicago, IL
This dramatic cloud form rising above a quiet field embodies one of Aeling’s central artistic pursuits: portraying the monumental scale of weather in the American interior. Growing up in regions where sky occupies most of the visual field, he learned to read clouds as both structure and story. The fiery illumination suggests late-day thunderstorms rolling across open grasslands—an experience he has described as both terrifying and transcendent. The work continues his exploration of how atmosphere shapes emotional experience.

In works such as North of Las Vegas, NM and Pond Near St. Cloud, MN, he balances the quiet structure of plains and wetlands with skies alive in constant motion. His mastery of atmosphere is unmistakable in Light Pillars (2023) and Light Pillar (2023), where rare optical events turn night into architecture. Even intimate scenes like Crabapple, Dogwoods, and Red Bud find their emotional power under skies that lend the land its shifting character.
Aeling’s winters in Hawaii deepened his sensitivity to movement and weather. Surfing taught him to read the rhythm of the ocean, a knowledge reflected in Wave, Kauai (2018), where a breaking wave becomes a luminous wall of force. In Volcano (2023), he channels the islands’ elemental drama, linking fire, vapor, and sky through the same atmospheric vocabulary found in his plains paintings...

Located in Chicago, IL
Ivan Markovic transports viewers into a world of technicolor with this collection of works inspired by Bernini's angels.
