Saguaro National Park East 24x36 Oil

I was finally able to get around to doing a decent sized canvas. Wanting my first to explore the area in which we live, the Sonoran Desert. This one measuring 24x36



Working on this one just here and there between other paintings was my goal. I knew I could do this one Alla Prima but wanted to give it a session time. Making sure all my layers were laid in properly.

This is from the Saguaro National Park's trail off Broadway Blvd, in Tucson, Arizona. I wanted a view of the Tanque Verde and Catalina Mountains as well as several Saguaro's and Prickly Pears. I let this one get worked on occassionally over 4-5 weeks with only about several hours each session being spent on it. All in all it turned out quite nicely.
