Last month Ilene and I got up early the day after attending our niece’s wedding and drove out to Bryce Arboretum our way into Phoenix.
What a joy to walk through this island in the desert filled with plants able to live in the harsh Sonora-Arizona Desert. We spent about three hours wandering the paths taking photos of plants, trees, and landscapes.
I also spent at least two hours cursing myself for not bringing my sketchbook and paints with me…argh! Oh well, at least we have photos.
This painting is of one of the red agave plants that had bloomed and was beginning to lose the rich red flowers it bears at the height of the bloom. The original of this work is 5 x 7 on Arches paper and is for sale for $49.99 or if you’d like a print please contact me by leaving a comment below.
Thanks for visiting! Now go make some art!
