GREAT DESERT POPPY...Watercolor

While driving up Lamoille Canyon in the Ruby Mountains, 
you will notice beautiful white poppies all along the road... Unless you stop and study these awesome wild flowers, you can't  appreciate their beauty.
This painting was from a photo of Kathryn's. 
Thanks for visiting..

RUBY MOUNTAINS STUDIES with color..watercolor

Here is my next study of the  
RUBY MOUNTAINS 
found just outside 
Elko, Nevada



In my last post I tried the view of the mtns. during the afternoon ..   Most evenings, when the sun is setting in the west,  the glow shines on mountains and forms a beautiful pink wash.  It is difficult to paint and get the exact colors.   I feel both of the paintings are "overworked".. Will continue to work and enjoy the peace of mind I experience  while studying these sunsets..

 Thanks for visiting...
