Have you ever been walking down a familiar path when all of a sudden a new fork on the path appeared that you had never seen before? That happened the day I painted this painting. A side trail appeared off the main trail I usually hike at Ryal Canyon in Camp Verde, AZ. It led downward and then around the hill you see on this painting. There was was a nice pine tree for shade while I painted. The wildflowers were blooming.
