More Drawing in the Desert

Driving out to Twentynine Palms and Joshua Tree National Park several times a year is something I really look forward to--such a contrast to my usual urban landscape...here are some recent drawings in the desert...

I never get enough of the sculpture of these Joshua Tree rocks against that blue sky...as the clouds move,,,the colors can change dramatically on the rocks...

 drawing the ruins of miners' cabins in Joshua Tree, and sketching on a walking tour of the Desert Queen Mine...

 On the outskirts of the desert town of Twentynine Palms...there's a wonderful feeling of space...

...and the cloud show changes every day!

The Mojave in spring...I sat on a hill and drew with an old rusted nail I found dipped in paint, and sloshed a bit of wash on with a Chinese brush...
