I took a trip into unknown territory. My destination,Dry Falls, a geological wonder in central Washington. New terrain takes some getting used to and I was eager to explore the new palette of these soft earth tones. On the way I saw some pretty orange flowers and decided to set up and start painting. It always takes a while to establish a rapport with a landscape, especially one as completely different as this to what I'm used to. The most delightful aspect of this painting was the lovely serenade that continued all the while I painted. Melodies from several different songbirds in the sagebrush were a charming accompaniment to the late afternoon in the desert. It was a positive start to my painting time there.

Painting in the Desert
