A view from the rim of Palo Dura Canyon.
Yesterday and today’s wandering was at Palo Dura Canyon State Park. This is just a quick cell phone shot of the majestic beauty here - more to come later!

A Gouache painting of yellow, white, orange and purple flowers against a springlike yellow and green background.
After a bit of a hiatus (that sounds better then too much work and life happening!😜) I’m going to try and get better at posting my art and wanderings. This mornings post is a new illustration that I’m still deciding what to do with.

A crested or cristate saguaro against a brilliant blue sky for today’s BlueSky Monday offering
Happy #blueskymonday! The blue skies of the southwestern USA never fail to impress! I learned on this trip that this is called a crested or cristate saguaro. It is a nature mystery as biologists don’t know why this growth pattern happens.

He definitely got his payment!!

Congrats! Love Parker River - I need to get up there before winter is over.
A closeup showing the intricate detailing of a saguaro cactus’ skeleton
Every time I go to #Arizona I learn more about the amazing #Saguaro cactus. Inside these delicate looking giants is a gorgeous wooden skeleton.

Good morning BlueSky world! This humble Mourning Dove seems to fit the #birdoftheday theme of #everydayBirds. I love how he or she seems to be saying - "Make sure you get my good side!"

a painting of a lady's slipper to brighten the mood after 2 days of snow!
Here in Massachusetts, we generally fared better than our southern neighbors, receiving mostly powdery snow. While housebound, I decided to look to spring and paint a lady's slipper! Here's to thinking warm spring thoughts!

The Berkshires in Massachusetts are looking magical with this snow fall! Nothing like a hike along a babbling brook with a canopy of snow surrounding us!

A colorful medley of spring flowers with skunk cabbage in the place of honor in the center
First painting done for my spring series -I tried to capture the beauty of spring including skunk cabbage. A vital early spring plant that produces its own heat and makes a nice safe, warm spot for insects to rest.
