Story / Additional InfoThis work is from a desert series the artist has been developing over the past few years after a trip to the southwest. She was inspired by the yellow and orange colors of the desert and what some perceive as an austere landscape. The artist, however, was enamored with the variety of flora and fauna and the feast of desert colors and imagined a picnic in the desert with watermelon and a cold drink. The artist enjoys juxtaposing disparate elements.
