This card is for the moments of pause, closure, and new direction - after the goodbye cake when the light hits weird, and you're thinking about everything and nothing at once. For someone stepping out into whatever's next, with a bit of fire still in the sky. In Twilight in the Wilderness, Frederic Edwin Church paints the sky as if it's burning down - deep reds and violets streaking across the horizon while a lake below holds the last light. With precise detail and sweeping color, Church captures a landscape at its edge - where the day ends and something else begins.
