Signed Lower Left: Carl Oscar Borg
A lone figure on horseback traverses through a picturesque canyon in Zion National Park. Looming overhead, the famous Angel’s Landing stands tall over the wandering individual. The interplay of sunlight and shadow adds depth to the scene, casting a tranquil ambiance. Lush trees line the pathway, while vibrant cliff faces and a serene blue sky with scattered clouds complete the composition. The brushwork captures the serene and awe-inspiring beauty of the American Southwest.
