Mystical Light
You could go a lifetime without ever seeing a sunset like this one. Fortunately I didn't have to. The distinctive ridgeline of Hansen Dam was giving way to a bizarre display of mystical light above. I shouldn't have been able to paint this painting from the parking lot of the dam, as it closed at sunset- fifteen minutes before I was done. The thing that saved me was that the Park Rangers had all stopped locking up to watch the sky.
