This oil painting captures a fleeting yet profound moment along the Provo River, where land, sky, and light converged in a scene of quiet majesty. What began as a plein air study became something more—the appearance of a towering cumulus cloud against a blue sky transformed the landscape and left me in awe.
Rain followed not long after, and the moment stayed with me. Back in the studio, I worked to preserve that memory using classical layered techniques—patiently building depth, form, and atmosphere. This painting is more than a depiction of place; it reflects a deeply felt experience of stillness, beauty, and reverence for the natural world.
