The snow is melting fast, turning the desert roads into pudding.
Pete only has a few days left before he has to return to Winlaw, so I imagine we will be painting our faces off till then.

Another amazing day in the snowy desert.

This photo is nice but you had to be there!

 

Today was the best light yet, Pete and I were in visual overload explosion all day.

Tomorrow, its off to paint at a site we scouted the other day, the weather is supposed to be fine, cold but sunny, so some more snow in the desert paintings in our future!

Pete and I  left for Sedona, Arizona yesterday.

Scenery like this all the way.

Arizona is quite beautiful!!!
