'Desert Blooms'
4" x 4" matted and framed pastel.
 
Today’s mini is inspired by one of my favorite weekend adventures a slow drive through the village of Corrales.
 
If you’ve ever driven through Corrales, you know exactly what I mean. One minute you pass adobe homes tucked behind cottonwood trees, the next you’re rolling past horse properties and farm stands. Then, suddenly, there it is . . . the farm.  A “pick-your-own” flowers where rows of zinnias, sunflowers, and cosmos stretch toward the sky.
 
I love flower farms and today’s painting is my little love letter to that feeling.
