"Camelback Praying Monk Sunset" is a painting of a desert landscape at sunset. Camelback Mountain, part of the Phoenix Mountains Preserve, is silhouetted against a vibrant sky, with shades of orange and yellow radiating from the setting sun. "Praying Monk" refers to a rock formation on the camel head section of the mountain that resembles a monk kneeling in prayer (shown on the right side of the painting). Tall cacti are scattered throughout the foreground, adding texture to the expansive view. The sky transitions to soft blues and grays at the top, creating a calm and majestic scene.
