BURNETA VENOSDEL THUNDERHEAD AT SUNSET

CECY TURNER LAST LIGHT IN MOAB VALLEY

The dry line in western Oklahoma creates many spectacular sights at sunset. It is also the birthplace for tornadoes, keeping us always aware of danger, with our ‘eyes to the sky’.

Our wonderful trip to Moab, UT, May before last, left me with a wealth of super photos of Canyonlands and Arches National Parks and also many unforgettable memories. Each day when we came back to Moab from the parks, this is the beautiful scene we saw at that time of day. I painted a similar scene years ago from a much shorter trip to Moab, but this one is somewhat different and I couldn’t wait to paint it. The light was phenomenal and only lasted a very short time!
