NOTES
Before Fall appears I lke to post this, because
it's hard to get the "feel" of a blazing desert sun burning on one's skin, plants are dried up, hardly any shade, or water to be found, when things are cooling down around you, and at dawn a veil of fog and clouds covers the landscape.
Because I know a little about drought, having lived in California for 20+ years, I started with this painting in April 2010 after the eruption of the volcano in Iceland. dealing with weather disasters. It belongs in the middle of a series of 13-15 paintings.
So this painting is not about a nice desert landscape,
it is such a serious drought, that people start digging for water.

Striking painting. Many people in the midwest will identify with this. It has been a hot, dry summer--Fall, with cooler temps and blessed rain will be a treat. Mickie :)
A great painting...

Wonderful painting...you have vividly conveyed the heat.
Fantastic painting, and the colors look amazing.
Lovely painting, I like warm tones such as strong.
I like the painting a lot, it definitely gives the feeling of oppressive heat and drought.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my greeting cards.
My profile reads: living in the wrong county - not country - that because I live in Worcestershire but am from Northumberland.
Very Van Gogh style, I like it very much.
Great painting. The colors do scream "heat," and I like the shadow of the mesa.
Yes, I agree with Marmsk, the colors do communicate the feelings of heat, so hot that the worker drops his shovel though he desperately needs water. . .

what a wonderful painting and a departure from what I might recognize as your "style". Love this and it does indeed convey the hot sun on skin. I particularly like the blocks of color broken up by the angles.
your works are beautiful..love it!
Lovely! It reminds me a little of our own Uluru - the colours are similar to our Outback.
Your paintings on this page are very imposing and your header is stunning. I can see that you are influenced by Mondriaan. Your header reminds me of an early work by him, in which the light of the sun is captured by treebranches in a wood.
Thanks for your visit and kind comment.
Love this one! So beautiful!
Bravo!
Thanks for sharing;o)
