“Captain Royal’s Sunset”
24" x 20" x 1.5" | Oil on Canvas
Merritt Reservoir, near Valentine, Nebraska
Bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, Captain Royal’s Sunset captures the fleeting magic of twilight along the shores of Merritt Reservoir. Painted in an expressive open impressionist style, this oil on canvas invites the viewer to step into a moment suspended between day and night.
The bold, rhythmic lines of silhouetted trees create a natural frame through which the glowing horizon and shimmering waters unfold. Rich reds, deep violets, and luminous pinks dance across the canvas, while hints of golden yellow and soft orange trace the fading sun’s reflection. The brushwork—alive with movement—evokes the quiet pulse of nature as shadows stretch and colors shift.
Rooted in the Sandhills of Nebraska, this work is both a homage to place and a meditation on the beauty of endings: where land, water, and sky converge in harmony for just a breath before nightfall.
