Shadowed Ridges is a small oil painting, just 2 by 3 inches, depicting the silhouette of local mountains at dusk. The sky holds layers of blue, orange, and yellow, shifting quietly between warmth and coolness. Soft clouds hover, their texture adding depth to the atmosphere. The horizon rests in subtle greens, suggesting distant hills that rise gently beneath the vibrant sky. I wanted to capture a familiar moment from the high country—the way the sun’s last light settles behind those ridges, quietly marking the close of day with calm and clarity. The black frame grounds the piece, offering a stark contrast that helps the colors hold their presence in such a compact space.
