Good Morning!
I'm on a roll today. 2 days, 2 paintings! I don't know how long I can keep the pace, but I'm trying.
Here's a brief history of this painting: My family is from Arizona. My grandmother was a painter of the southwest. She painted deserts and rocks in a way that people loved. Her paintings were quite popular and today are valuable items of art. When she got old and couldn't get around, I sometimes took photographs for her to paint from. When I went to visit her, I took the camera and we went out on photo excursions. This gave her plenty to work from and I got to see the desert that I hadn't explored as a child.
When my grandmother died, the photos made their way back to me. Once in awhile, I get one out that she didn't get a chance to paint from and I do it. Our styles are different, but she played a major role in my art education. She also knew the name of every desert plant. The Bushy Thing was growing along the Colorado River, near Needles CA. If anyone knows what it's called, drop me a line!
Enjoy,
Glynis
