"A Thousand Miles," the largest painting in Green's renowned canyon series, draws inspiration from early American paintings. This captivating piece depicts two boys attempting to find their bearings after their plane lands precariously on the edge of a cliff. Green masterfully plays with perspective, inviting viewers to shift their gaze from the initial excitement of the unknown typography to the overwhelming vastness of the canyon. 
​
A notable element in the painting is a sign that reads, " Just because my path is different, does not mean I am lost," a poignant reminder of the importance of independent navigation through lifers intricate and multifaceted landscapes. This piece delves deeply into the nature of personal fear, underscoring the idea that fear is intensely personal experience, one that can only be confronted and tamed by the individual.
