Storms Over Castle Valley, Sara Brandenburg, 2022, acrylic, 36 x 36 in. / 91.44 x 91.44 cm.

This painting is based on a day I spent wandering through the La Sal Mountains until storms rolled through and made the roads impassible. I took the long way down, and captured a photo of the contrast of the desert with the dark, stormy peaks in the background and was inspired to paint it.
