"Quiet Moment at Windy Point"

Windy Point Vista is a rocky overlook on the Mt Lemmon Scenic Parkway, north of Tucson. While the rest of our group explored the edges of the overlook, my granddaughter and I moved into a shady spot to enjoy a quiet moment. She took out her drawing pad, and I took a photo, which became this painting.

Gates Pass

My husband and I recently moved to Tucson. When we were scouting for places to live, someone recommended that we see the sunset from Gates Pass. The drive up to the scenic overlook was impressive, but the orange sunset lighting up the Tucson Mountains was spectacular. I took a photo just moments before the sun slipped out of sight. This 9x12" painting is executed, from that photo, in watercolor and pen on paper. It reminds me of how lucky I am to live in a place so full of beauty and magic.
