Joshua Trees and Bunnies

 I gave my latest painting a title typical of works from previous centuries: Joshua Tree and Bunnies, purely a description of what the painting depicts.

This is a scene of one of my favorite places, Joshua Tree National Park, CA, showing my favorite little mountain, with two of my favorite desert critters, and topped off with lots of desert dandelions. The size is 18" x 24" / 45.7cm x 61.0cm.

This piece will be donated to our church for a fundraising auction on 24 October, along with a second work. Let's hope and pray, for the sake of the church, we'll see some spirited and lucrative bids for the two paintings!

In the meantime, enjoy your Halloween!

Desert Sunset -- on a Bunny??

"Desert Sunset on a Bunny." ON A BUNNY????

Well, yeah...if you've been following this blog for a while, you know I'm addicted to cute little bunnies, whether domesticated or wild. They (along with guinea piggies) have gotta be the cutest critters in God's creation!

So I often place desert cottontail bunny-rabbits in my desert scenes, watching the viewer before the viewer notices the bunny! I hope this new piece continues the tradition.
