"It really does look like a storm on a beautiful autumn day," she said. "It's flat, you see this whole expanse. She's done well in terms of detail as you can see the leaves on the tree and the big clouds. It's a nice capture." Swanson leans toward the painting of a native Utahn who now lives in Taos, N.M.
