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!

PINK BEAUTY- 10" x 10" acrylic landscape by Susan Roden

 PINK BEAUTY 10" x 10" acrylic on cradled wooden panel Sold - Private Collector During my residency I spent two afternoons at the Joshua Tree  National Park. Above is a scene from there.  Was fascinated with the Joshua trees with their shaggy bark.  This was quite a departure for me with a predominate pink palette. Kind of grooving on it too. And an added plus is this went to a local collector, so I get to  visit the painting! Always nice to have that opportunity and see a  piece with fresh eyes.
