Southwest Style

9x5.5 watercolor on Canson 140 lb cold press paper painted today, a southwestern style adobe house landscape, complete with clay pots of cactus and yucca. In this imaginary scene I've tried to indicate the hot climate and carefree lifestyle of the area. From the red tile roof to stucco walls one can imagine living here in the desert.
