Desert Flowers…

Deserts can be either hot or cold but all deserts share having a restricted rainfall. The extremely dry conditions limit the flora and fauna that inhabit them. That makes the beauty of these flowers just that much more spectacular.

With a simple background, complementary colors and lots of line work, you will create this high impact painting. The design is by Sandy McTier. Cathy teaches with permission.
