Super Bloom Death Valley

Since my recent trip to DV, CA, USA, I’m going to try painting a few of my favorite scenes.

Every so often, Death Valley gets a bit of spring rain and that usually produces what they call a super bloom of desert flowers. Sometimes it can 10 years or more between occurrences, because this place doesn’t get much rain. I was fortunate to experience a recent one.

The did a couple of thumbnails. I’m also going to try a path leading into the composition. The third pic is a 9x12” mounted paper with gesso and a light tint with my scene penciled in. Ready for paint hoping I can do this scene justice.
