This morning there was a new color to paint in the desert.The ironwood trees which previously looked mostly like dead trees have woken up and are in bloom. They have lovely pink blossoms on them which are a beautiful addition to the paint palette. It was a lot of fun to add this new color to our paintings. The palo verde trees are losing their yellow flowers so the ironwoods stepped up just in time!
My second painting was a little study of a baby cactus making its way in the shade of a tree. It was hard to separate the gray of the tree and the gray of the rocks.
What another great day in May. The high will be in the 80's today. A good 10 degrees lower than we should be. I am not complaining!
