In my painting “Retreating Light at Capitol Reef,” I capture the stunning moment when the sun dips below the rugged cliffs of Capitol Reef, casting warm hues across the landscape. The vibrant reds and oranges of the rock formations contrast beautifully with the cool shadows creeping in. It’s a tranquil scene that reminds me of the serene beauty and timelessness of nature, inviting viewers to pause and reflect on the day’s end.
