Description
The Elephant Head monolith of the Santa Rita Mountains south of Tucson, Arizona is lit up by the luminescence of late day heavenly rays of sunlight shining through the moody storm clouds during monsoon season. A dramatic lightning bolt strikes the top of Mount Wrightson, the highest point in the range, as rain is just about to pour down into Madera Canyon. Whipple Observatory can be seen atop Mount Hopkins on the right in the mist of the sky.
Sunlight and shadows play across this southwestern landscape of the Sonoran Desert, and ocotillos stand and watch the coming storm as the thunder rumbles at sunset. A lone barrel cactus sits amid the grass and prickly pear along this ridge.
The Santa Rita Mountains are the tallest mountains in southern Arizona and are prominently visible and revered in the communities of Tucson, Vail, Sahaurita, Green Valley, Tubac, and Nogales. They are fun to photograph and even more fun to paint.
It is my hope that this evening impressionism scene of the beautiful Arizona summer fills you with a sense of the divine quality of this incredible landscape. Southern Arizona, in my view, is among the most beautiful places in the southwest, if not the world.
~This piece will be exhibited in the "Members Open" at the Tubac Center of the Arts during the month of August, 2019 in Tubac, Arizona~
