Desert Scrub
Oil on Canvas painting panel
12 x 12
$1,500.00

Painted on location in the beautiful Granite Dells in Prescott, Arizona. Painted on September 14th, 2009, 12noon-2pm. This desert has a completely different palette than I usually paint on location. Everything has a dusty, subtle color to it. The greens aren't quite as green. It's why, those of us who are crazy enough to paint on location, do it. Those differences just don't show up on film in quite the same way. You simply need to be there to see the difference.


The Granite Dells is a world unto itself. The granite rock formations there have a kind of melted ice cream look to them. There isn't a hard edge to be found on the stone formations. I've been told that Tom Mix used the Dells in many of his movies. I will be doing many paintings here.
