Fire in the Sky – A Fiery Sedona Sunset Over Cathedral Rock
Fire in the Sky – A Fiery Sedona Sunset Over Cathedral Rock
“Fire in the Sky” captures the breathtaking beauty of Sedona’s Cathedral Rock set aglow by a stunning desert sunset. This radiant painting by Clark Sheppard was part of his earlier collection, created before his transition into surreal skies and fluorescent acrylics — a moment of bold, natural color and raw Southwest magic.
On December 27th, 2018, this original was sold as part of the American Contemporary Art Show in Guangzhou, China — marking a major milestone in Sheppard’s international career. The deep reds, glowing oranges, and golden highlights reflect in the still waters of Oak Creek, grounding this painting in both emotion and geography.
The composition of “Fire in the Sky” features Cathedral Rock emerging with glowing strength as the day’s final light bathes the landscape, anchoring the fiery color and mood of the piece. The tranquil water mirrors the fiery sky, doubling the intensity and creating a meditative symmetry. It’s a rare and powerful glimpse into the heart of Sedona, and a defining example of the mood, palette, and style that define “Fire in the Sky.”
Collectors who appreciate Sedona’s iconic formations and timeless desert beauty will be drawn to this vivid landscape. For a more consolidated version of this subject in a landscape format, explore Sheppard’s mystical piece “Cathedral Magic.”
This piece is offered as a giclée on canvas, luminous metal, or a gift art photo plaque. Clark Sheppard’s art can also be found at the Village Gallery and Sedona Artist Market and Gallery in Sedona, AZ.
