Sonoran Gate Birds The way the shadows played

The way the shadows played off the buildings was eye catching and the charm of the bench and lace curtains sealed the deal

They witnessed a lioness capture and kill a baby warthog

it’s amazing inspiration for paintings

it rewards desert natives and visitors with these unlikely but dramatic blooms

I decided it deserved a painting to show it off

Sonoran Gate Birds The way the shadows playedThis old gate is in North Scottsdale and used to lead the way to a lovely botanical garden. Alas, progress and growth has done away with the garden but I take comfort in the knowledge that it lives on in my painting. Shipping included for this giclee.
