"The right Painting creates an onging conversation over time, as you see it in different light, and the different seasons of your life"
— Cody DeLong
THE COLLECTIONS
SOUTHWEST
Red rock and canyon light. Thirty years of chasing it.
I've been painting this country since I first drove into Arizona over 30 years ago. The light here does something I haven't found anywhere else. I'm still chasing it.
EUROPE
The light on the other side of the Atlantic is different from the desert southwest.
"I moved to Europe for a new chapter. To challenge, and in a way reinvent myself as an artist. These cityscapes have an abstract element to them, and it's been a lot of fun creating them."
GRAND CANYON
The river cut it. I've spent years studying the unique reflections on walls and water down there.
"I've painted this canyon more times than I can count, and it still surprises me. That's the whole reason I keep coming back."
EXPERIMENTAL
The work that doesn't fit a category. That's some of the most fun work I make.
"Some paintings don't belong to a place. They belong to a mood, an experiment, a question I hadn't answered yet. They're not for everyone."
JEROME
Ghost town - mining history, music, wine, bikes, bars...and art. Cody DeLong Studio stood in the heart of it for two decades.
"Painting in and around my gallery in Jerome for twenty-two years. These paintings bring me back to my youth, with the rusty machines on my Grandfathers farm."
MEET THE ARTIST
cody delong
My paintings explore clarity found through nature.
I’m drawn to landscapes where light, space, and atmosphere demand attention.
These are environments that don’t reward distraction. Light shifts quickly. Balance matters. You have to be present.
The role these paintings are meant to play is providing a visual reference point in a mentally noisy world
"If you’re anything like me, you feel the quiet moments—light on a wall, a shadow that lingers. I create for those who notice what others miss."
“You don’t just want decor —you want to feel something every time you see it.”

COLLECTOR REVIEWS
“THE OUTCOME FAR EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS.”
"I asked Cody if he'd take a commission and he humbly accepted. He did four small pieces for me—a tetraptych—graciously accommodating my request on size, canvas material, and subject matter. We collaborated easily on style and color palette. It mattered not that he was in Portugal and I in Sedona: the shipping was fast, and the pieces arrived in perfect condition, exquisitely executed. They'll be with my family for a very long time."
— JOHN P., SEDONA
“HE HAS PROVEN TO BE EXACTLY THE RIGHT ARTIST.”
"I have long admired Cody's understanding of light and color, and his ability to capture buildings and vehicles. My husband and I felt he would be the perfect artist to portray an old barn on our property we're very attached to—and we were so right. He led us through sketches and collaborated with us at every step. He has proven to be exactly the right artist for a painting that will mean a lot to our family for a long time."
— ANNA D., HOTCHKISS, COLORADO
“THE SOUTHWEST THEME AND COLORS JUST COME ALIVE IN OUR HOME.”
"We'd admired Cody's work and loved his landscapes, but had a difficult location for the artwork we wanted. After discussing our size and lighting requirements, we commissioned him to develop and paint a desert landscape that's proven to be the ideal solution for us. His professional ability to adapt to our requirements, coupled with his raw talent and creative vision, gave us a wonderful oil painting we're proud to have relied on him for. The Southwest theme and colors just come alive in our home, and we'll always enjoy this piece of commissioned art."
— RON M., SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA
“A COLLABORATION WITH ONE OF THE FINEST LANDSCAPE ARTISTS WORKING TODAY.”
"Cody is a true professional. Once we agreed on the subject and how it should be presented, he really got to work—setting a reasonable schedule, providing sketches along the way. He listens, but he doesn't waver from the original vision. To commission a painting with Cody is really a collaboration with one of the finest landscape artists working today."
— BARBARA S., BOULDER CITY, NV
