Pink Desert Saguaro

15x5.5 watercolor on Blick 140 lb cold press paper, an imaginary pink desert scene done a couple of weeks ago while on a trip out of state. The pink tones of the sand echoes throughout the sky and other desert landscape parts such as vegetation, rocks, hills, etc. The icon of the desert is the stately saguaro which I never tire from painting.
