Desert Blankets

While driving down Hwy 188 near Tonto Basin, I realized spring was here. The mountains were covered with lucious orange and bright yellow flowers. The tree branches were filled with yellow-green leaves. I was filled with hope from the scene. Just weeks prior, everything was brown. The mountain range reminded me of life, and how at one moments time it can change. I wanted to share this beauty forever. In an original oil painting, the leaves won't ever fall off and the fields of flowers will always have beauty in them.
