Summer painting




This week I had a couple of busy mornings. Monday morning in the desert there was one of those morning moons. We have to stay in the sheltering shade as we paint so these scenes I painted before. The big multi-armed saguaro stands in front of the ironwood tree that was pink a month ago. Now it has green leaves. When I first started going out to the preserve it looked like a beautiful, but dead tree. The other painting I did was a little close up of a baby cactus. I have painted it before, but practicing the same subject is bound to help eventually!
I am also posting the second smaller painting I did last week. It is just more pretty desert scenery! Little barrel cacti in the front. Their needles can be reddish.
