Desert Snow

5 x 7" oil on canvas

These 100+ degree temperatures here in the Phoenix area make me want to go back to this past winter when it snowed! It's not a big deal for some, but to see it snowing in the desert is pretty cool. Of course I grab my camera right away and drive off in the jeep with my husband to go get the best shots! I painted this from one of my favorite shots from all my snowy pictures.

Snow in Arizona?!

Last winter it snowed here in Arizona, yes, snowed. I grabbed my camera and tripod and took off driving into Tonto National Forrest. The Four Peaks mountains in the background were covered in snow. Now I know it’s not such a big deal for most of you to see snow, heck I grew up in it, but we’re talking about snow right outside of the Phoenix area! It was quite a sight seeing it with all the Saguaros. I just had to paint it. I just might have to paint more snow, I took some great photos that day as I hiked up the hills looking for the perfect shot.
