"Dusk' - Pinnacle Peaks - Arizona


The colors of twilight have always fascinated me...all the subtle reflections from a fading sunset sky glowing on everything below.. a quiet time of magic.

This 6x6 oil study is of the Pinnacle Peaks near Scottsdale, Arizona.. a few hours through the desert from SpaceCamp. While I was painting.. a beautiful golden bug made his final resting place in the painted sky.. perfect for this work. I preserved him on the canvas with an extra coat of varnish .. kinda like the amber fossils of Jurassic Park.
