Desert Jewels

Click on the title to view painting within the online blog/ Gearing up for my summer workshop in Sweden and catching up on commissions but I wanted to share this painting I did while in Arizona. The cactus there are captivating with all their varied textures, shapes and colors and especially at the close of day when the light is yummiest. Hard to resist wanting to touch them as we do with typical garden blooms, but a safe distance is best in this case! Happy Summer and I hope to connect again soon.

We're at the tail end of our Arizona adventure and really enjoyed our time in  the desert. It zipped by way too fast but we're hoping that we can return on some kind of regular basis. I had decided ahead of time to leave my oil paints at home due to the heat, but had a bit of fun with my watercolors. However, this subject matter kind of threw me for a loop due to the subtle values, but I am looking forward to playing with these colors on larger paintings and hope to share the results with you soon. Sorry I missed connecting with you all for so many days in a row!
