Summer at Red Rock Canyon, NV

Summer at Red Rock Canyon, NV was painted from a photograph I took on a trip to the Southwest last year. The early summer light blazes and bleaches the landscape, but all sorts of green things find a way to grow in the dry rocky soil.

The Moat Garden
watercolor on ampersand aquabord
8″ x 10″
2023
This field of poppies and blue cornflowers is inspired by the Moat Garden at the Tower of London. On a recent visit to London, I fell in love with this oasis of wildflowers in the middle of the bustling metropolis. This painting was made from location sketches and photographs I took during my visit, when common poppies, California poppies, blue cornflowers, and Queen Anne’s Lace filled the beds to overflowing. It’s always a good idea to stop and enjoy flowers wherever we may find them.
