Description
This watercolor painting of a desert "Smoketree" in bloom is part of a larger picture. The family of quail seeking shelter was a poignant scene. Too hot to paint en plein air, I photographed it and painted from the photos.

I like the subtle colors…..the purple tones with their complementary golds, and the way you placed the tree close to the center. Gorgeous!!

Dear Maria, I think of you so often with wonderful memories of painting intershares, and your kindnesses many to me, …a newbie. No longer a novice to FAA, I still continue to re-visit and love my favorites of your portfolio, my dear friend and mentor! I eagerly anticipate seeing one of your amazing vintage repurposing exercises or a diminutive…I KNOW you still have the …”magie d’automne au fond de votre cœur”.
