Title or Location: Yucca Sentinel
This watercolor painting is part of a series of Southwest US landscapes I completed following a road trip from Texas to California. This area of the country is so varied and beautiful and I consider it part of myself as I was raised in California, Arizona and New Mexico and currently live in Texas. I?m inspired by the unique colors and the flora as I travel from the hills, deserts, prairies, mountains and eventually reach the ocean.

We spread the aroma of life in the places that are most in need, such as abundant gardens or wilderness. The beauty attracts attention and brings the message of Christ about life and hope.
