Desert Plants in Bloom IV

Desert Plants in Bloom IV
Little Gem
oil on canvas, mounted
DAY EIGHT of the thirty day challenge and all is well.   My daily bike rides provide me with so much material for painting but fall is (maybe) in the air and I notice flowers on the native plants are less fresh.  This plant is called Apache Plume because the flowers look like plumes.  The Apache part I am not so sure of.  We love the plant even in our own yards.

Sunday on the bike trail is a mash-up: in-line skaters, walkers, runners, bicycles and today there was a 35 mile bike event.

    This is lovely, sunny and cheerful. I agree the best part of the day is dawn.

      Dawn is so terrific and to think most people miss it; aren't even interested! Amazing.

      Thanks Helen. Yesterday's first painting was a scraper, so luck I need!

      Aw thanks, Julie. I just keep plugging away and most days see improvement due to painting daily.
