Superstitions is the name of my latest painting. The title refers to the name of the mountains and, possibly, to the name of the mystique that surrounds this rock pile. It may or may not be the site of the "Lost Dutchman" gold mine -- many have tried to find it, and many have disappeared during their search!
Enjoy!!

Superstitions are, of course, funny kinds of beliefs about things; it is also the name of a group of mountains in the desert east of Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

And so -- my latest painting is entitled Superstitions, in reference to the above-named mountains. I wanted the image to have a sort of surreal, almost spooky feel to capitalize on the name of these rocks.
I've been to these mountains several times, but admittedly -- I never saw them enshrouded in clouds. But I have seen photos of cloud-covered Superstition Mountains, and I knew that was what I needed to do! Plus -- I want to get more into atmospheric effects in my paintings, anyway.
So -- enjoy the painting, and no -- I'm not superstitious!!😃
