    Arizona, take off your rainbow shades
    Arizona, have another look at the world
    My myyy
    Arizona, cut off your Indian braids

  8. Hi Cynnie! I tried to comment on this before, but apparently the blogger gods were displeased with me! I think this painting is just wonderful- the colors, the shapes, the composition are all fantastic. I'm also envious because you can obviously do everything, and so well!! :) You should paint more! (more, more!)

    I've never visited that part of America but my sister and BIL have and I remember their holiday photographs and yes, you have captured that sense of intense heat from the sun's rays. Remarkable work.
    Wishes for a great weekend.
