Another day, another hike and another desert painting! This time using a different canvas and underpainting. This painting is on a Raymar panel with an orange underpainting. The result is much different from the smooth, white gessobord. Colors and brush strokes both are more muted.
Dove Mountain in Marana, Arizona has a beautiful, natural desert walking trail on each side of the boulevard. A hike on this trail takes you mentally miles away - breathe deep and enjoy!
