Return to Mesa


An amazing thing about the desert is just add water and practically anything will grow in southern Arizona. This capture of a typical residential corner is full of life, though the brown ground seemingly suggests the earth is dead. The sketch needed more color so I suggested a red sky sky with bold strokes of Prismacolor. It balances the entire sketch, as the strokes contrast to the cacti on the ground, but also echo a relationship to the overall composition of the plant life on the earth.
