The land I live in is often tough, with the sun forever beating down (in the summer) on our high-plains desert landscape. But as I've explored it more, I have found pockets of water and life throughout the valley that give their secret away. This is how the valley works! This scene was originally a plein air study, and I reworked it in the study in order to play with the various textures and shapes. The rich colors near the water surprised me, and now they delight me.
