I thought I would expound a bit more on the Manzanita. Even though you cannot miss the exquisite beauty of the limbs and branches of this incredible species, the small and delicate blossoms can easily be overlooked. The bloom is brief and without much fanfare, but if you are there at just the right time you will be treated to a bit of icing on the cake.
My most recent watercolor. Manzanita Blossoms.

First of all, let me borrow a line from the Grateful Dead...what a long strange trip its been.
I grew up in Appalachia, not far from Wheeling, West Virginia. I decided at seventeen that working in the coal mines was not for me and soon found myself standing at an on-ramp with my thumb out. It was the Sixties and adventure beckoned.
I'm a self taught artist, primarily focusing on the natural world. I enjoy painting the flora and fauna of this beautiful planet. I currently live in Arizona, and most of my recent works reflect the inhabitants of the Sonoran desert.
