Plein Air Study

Painted at Lost Dog Wash Trail Head, Scottsdale, AZ. on Feb 20, 2016

I have always been interested in figuring out how to paint on Ocotillo bush, which when in leaf and backlit are amazing plants.  I think this one is fairly successful.  I painted the bottom half as one solid form and then added darks and lights and some peek-a-boo rocks in the background.
