Desert Glow

 A few weeks ago, our sweet family in Arizona sent us a photo of one of their favorite activities – going for a short drive at sunset to a nearby park to watch to sun go down over the desert mountains. I admit – my first experience visiting the desert last October was not all that positive. While there are spectacular vistas, it was hard for me to get past the fact that the majority of the landscape can be used as a weapon – to stab, cut or maim! And yet, here was this beautiful photo with wonderful light. I had to paint it!

This week’s painting, Desert Glow, 9” x 12” captures the view of two littles and their favorite companion taking in the sights and basking in the last light of a day.
