I'm finally trying to paint again, and I'm so happy about that! So thrilled to be pushing paint around even if it's just for a while during the day. I'm working from my own sketches, notes, and photos because there is no way I am mobile enough to get out on location right now. Hopefully it will be soon when I can do that again. Meanwhile it just feels great to paint. This week it will be a whole month without painting, so... I'm back;)

Here's a painting of the Desert in Bloom that I've just completed. We went to the desert the Saturday before the car crash and I have been yearning to paint what I saw. Hope I did it justice... but the fragrance of the desert wildflowers... no way I can paint that!

"Desert in Bloom", 6 inches by 8 inches, oil on canvas mounted to panel.
