Evening in the Sierras

This large panoramic landscape of flat arid prairie giving way to imposing mountains and evening sky above is brought down to human scale with a ranch, road, and truck commanding a central presence in the composition. The road begins at the lower right, swings out to the left and then circles back to the house. A pickup truck approaches along the road and leaves a storm of dust behind it. This peaceful depiction of man in a comfortable relation to his environment is compatibly executed with a delicate touch and meticulous technique.
