The sunset painter

As the day's final rays kissed the horizon, Maria set up her easel on the beach. She mixed colors on her palette, capturing the vibrant hues of the sunset. With each brushstroke, the canvas came alive. Golden oranges, fiery pinks, and soothing blues danced together. Passersby stopped, mesmerized by her art. A young boy asked, "How do you make the sky so beautiful?" Maria smiled, "I just let the sunset paint itself." As dusk fell, Maria's artwork shone, a fleeting reflection of nature's masterpiece.
