On the way to Death Valley, we did a little off-roading in the El Paso Mountains Wilderness. We stopped at the abandoned Holly Ash Mine to stretch our legs. There were all these huge rusted metal cones lying around, generously pock-marked with bullet holes. This one had been painted with an imagined animal skeleton.
We went camping in Death Valley for my birthday. Sketches to follow!
I sowed a packet of southwest flower seeds some months ago. The California poppies were the first to bloom, but now the ‘regular’ poppies are ready to burst forth. These flowers remind me of my maternal grandparents, who grew them in their front yard in Sydney. I wonder what colours we’ll get? So far, there’s just one pink bloom.
I just found this in my drafts folder. I think I painted it last November.
