Beautiful Saturday in the Desert!



Today I forced myself to get up and out of the house (instead of a lazy morning with coffee,the paper, the news, the dogs on my lap)and drove to McDowell Mountain Conservation Area. This area was set aside 20 years ago and as part of the anniversary about 15 painters set up to paint this beautiful area. I had never been to this trail head and will definitely be back...bathrooms, water, shade and gorgeous scenery! Here are the paintings I got done this morning.The wet oil paint has a lot of glare in the sun..sorry!
