2012

The Sunset Spectator shows a quiet, funny moment at the end of the world. The scene feels still and expectant against a backdrop of rolling, plum-colored mountains and a sky heavy with the warmth of a setting sun.

A grey rabbit that looks interested stops in a field with a lot of texture. It is looking at something that is just out of reach. A brave ladybug with big, fun features walks along a winding path that goes through the tall grass nearby. The brushwork is intentional and honest, which gives the animals a "fuzzy" feel that makes the viewer want to step into their tiny world. It's not just a picture of a landscape; it's a picture of the small, unnoticed things that happen in the wild when no people are around.
