Ghost Dance (The Vision of Life) by Ralph Albert Blakelock
A dark, atmospheric landscape painting in oil on canvas shows silhouetted trees framing a dim horizon under a dusky sky. Glowing ochre and gold tones fill the rocky, brushy foreground, while thick, loose brushwork gives the scene a textured, dreamlike surface.
