Artist Statement:Sky in Flames captures a moment when the sky seems to burn with light before giving way to darkness. The sunset flares through layers of orange, purple, and gray clouds, creating the feeling that the sky is radiating with intensity.Below, the land is quiet and subdued—deep burnt sienna with only hints of light—barely visible as it fades into shadow. A shadowed creek, nearly lost in darkness, faintly reflects the fire above.This piece captures that brief, powerful, and emotional moment at the end of the day, when the sky feels ablaze, and everything else falls still beneath it.Thank you so much, and please let me know if you need anything further.
