A JOSHUA - 10" x 10" Southwest acrylic by Susan Roden

A JOSHUA

10" x 10" acrylic on wooden panel 


Well it's been awhile since my last posting and I apologize. 

Pinched back nerve - ouch! 

So now I'm back and onward with my travels at Twentynine Palms.


On my second day of residency at the Desert Dairy Farm, I spent

 half of it at the Joshua Tree National Park. Breath-taking! 

Above a joshua tree is front-center of the painting. They are truly 

amazing and massive in height. 


Above is the sculpture I painted prior to arriving at the Farm. Had

 only seen pictures of joshua trees, which was used for my painting 

source. So happy to see they were actually as I envisioned!
