Painting Tucson

Green of an Ohio Summer Day

I’m sure that many in Ohio are ready for the snow to go and the green of summer to return.  To that promise of what is to come . . .  May it be here sooner than later.

Rain is News in Tucson

This image is a bit pedestrian in nature. But in Tucson, Rain is big news. At least it is when it happens as often as it has been this year. We have doubled our normal amount of rain for January, February. We are expected to have our third weekend in a row with rain.

It is so unusual that I took this image.

A Photo of a Gallery, Go Figure

The gallery is located at the corner of Campbell and River. It is close to Zinburger and P.F. Changs.

Purple is a good color for an orchid

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah

I imagine being a flower and bully at the same time is tough.  My sympathy to all bullies born as flowers.

Poetic Cactus Lyrics that stick in your head

In the waning light of day the cactus like to say, “Hey, why don’t you stick around and we’ll watch the sun go down”

Spring is just around the corner

One thing I really missed last year were the Globe Mallows all over the place.  There is such a variety of color and the bees love them.  Last year it was so dry there were barely any flowers.  This year anticipation is running high with all the rain we are having.  I certainly hope they are back.  It would be a nice bright spot to our spring.

It won't be long now

It is pouring rain again this morning.  We are expecting a good wildflower crop this spring.  January was the 8th wettest ever.  Feb is looking pretty good itself.  We are all anticipating some wonderful color to our desert this spring.  Let’s hope so.
