Grand sweeping clouds create a commanding presence in this quiet scene, with soft light dividing the landscape and the heavens. "The Pacific sky generates the most beautiful and spectacular array of colors and textures," says artist Sheila Finch. "I worked to capture all the subtle nuances of color - a vision of the dramatic blues and golds of upswept clouds beyond Crystal Springs Reservoir and the coastal mountains just as the sun sets. A vision to soothe and lift the soul."
