I ran across this oil painting of some cottontails I did years ago. I still am captivated by the Sonoran desert and the wildlife and plants that manage to survive in the harsh environment. In the middle of the summer only the toughest can last until the mild weather returns. The beauty of the desert with the spectacular spring colors and lovely winters is earned by the season of summer. This is the season that really sets the desert apart. If we have grown unaware, it snaps us to attention and lets us know what Mother Nature is all about. We have long harsh heat punctuated by dust storms, stunning thunderstorms and flash floods. Through it all the desert creatures manage to thrive in harmony with this amazing place.
