Four Peaks is the name of a mountain visible from the Superstition Mountains (and Lost Dutchman State Park) in Arizona. It, and the surrounding Sonoran Desert, was the subject of my latest painting entitled, simply, Four Peaks. A redtail hawk soars the morning skies, looking for tasty morsels to eat.

(The mountain really does have four peaks, but only three of them are visible from this angle).
If Arizona had a wet winter, the Peaks can be covered in snow which can last into early spring, when wildflowers (such as the yellow-blossomed brittlebush) reach their peak time of glory.
Four Peaks and the Superstition Mountains are beautiful and iconic areas. I expect I'll be doing more paintings of these special places in the future.
