Description
In the Winter, it is delightful to pack up the easel, paints, lunch and take a friend to plein air paint with. A few years back, we headed to Painted Canyon, an hour drive East of Palm Springs. I know the image isn't exciting but the walls flanking this canyon were amazingly smooth, seeming "protective from the strong winds and sand storms. During storms, I could imagine the local wildlife finding shelter in this "Mighty Bulwark".

Your `comment just melted my artist's heart. Thank you so much, James' I just was reminded, when I saw it of a shelter from oncoming storms. Thank you for liking it.

It reminded me of a shelter from an oncoming storm.. It but i settled for castles in stead.

Thank you, Randy. I guess what it lacks in brilliant colors, it makes up for in a sense of security or protective feelings
Randy Burns

Thank you Brian. I so appreciate the compliment... I would have called it "shelter from the Storm " or A Mighty Bulwark " but settled for this... It reminded me of protection and shelter... Thank you for seeing that.
