Perhaps it is anticipation of the cooler weather ahead, or the pristine beauty of a very rare desert snowfall. Either way, I felt motivated to post this watercolor from a couple of years ago.
I am guessing there are not too many snowmen built in the local area.

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.
