It is getting cold here in the mountains of Colorado. We live at 10,200 feet and it is below freezing every night. To escape from the inevitable winter temps, we drive 4 hours to the desert in Utah. There it is a beautiful 70+ degrees and we can hike and mountain bike to our hearts content. The desert is filled with unusual botany that we are unused to seeing. Some desert flowers present themselves for viewing. They are incredibly luscious and varied in their colors. The current painting is one where I try to capture their beauty in oil paints. This original painting has SOLD!

Really nice work. I love the brilliant colors. Still trying to get over the fact that you live above 10,000 feet for most of the year. Amazing. The air is rare up there!

Pop on over to my blog and [ick up your "Major French Award"-
You are inspiring!
(I will be posting my entire list on Thursday) :)
I agree, this piece is very beautiful.
The yellow in the middle jumps out and grabs you, then leads your eyes around the edges. I like the two red berries at the top that almost look like they could be eyes looking at you...
Makes me want to visit Utah.
I thought deserts were supposed to be barren, but with the way you illustrated the flower, I would think it grew in a rain forest.
Beautifully done
Your work is inspiring! Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow, this one really pops! No wonder it sold. The colors and style remind me of things I saw in Mexico.
Among all the paintings displayed, I like Desert Blooms.
Hi Laura,
The colours on this work and its composition are really pleasant.
The red elements give it a nice touch.
Congratulations.
Best regards,
José
