In the desert on a hike by the Chemehuevi range we always see very purple mountains, and rarely clouds,;when the north wind builds up at dusk there are spots

So I did a plein air in my A/Ced studio looking out the arcadia doors of this grand tree. It was very warm at 104 degree in Scottsdale today!
Spring is the most beautiful time in the desert and is always announced by the arrival of the bright, cheerful yellow flowers on the Palo verde, Mesquite and other desert bushes.
