I finally finished a new painting!! This is The Land of Joshua Trees, 8" x 10" / 20cm x 25cm, acrylic on panel.
I've painted this little mountain many times before. It's in Joshua Tree National Park, California.
As far as I know, it doesn't have a name (many mountains and rock formations in the Park are unnamed). I love all the peaks and an almost castle-like look to it. Plus, of course, the Joshua trees, which I love almost as much as saguaro and organ pipe cactus.
Enjoy!!

Extinction is a new painting in a surrealistic style, a look I rather enjoy.
The size is 8" x 10" / 20cm x 25cm and shows a post-apocalyptic scene, We don't know if the female is the last living human on earth, or if she's the only person out in the open. A destroyed city and clock loom in the distance, and the ground is giving off a yellowish polluting gas. Dead trees and dry, cracked earth complete the setting.
Sometimes the current events and what they mean to the future of our planet totally depress me, and that's the way I felt when I began this painting. There are "leaders" who seem hellbent on destroying the planet just so they can feed their hyperinflated egos. I know someday Jesus Christ will come, but how much is it going to hurt until He does?
May He help us all.
