Artist's Description
I drove east of Phoenix and found this desolate but beautiful desert vista.
The saguaro cactus grows very slowly and can live 150 years. It can take up to 75 years for them to develop a side arm...so when you see one with several...it's been standing for many, many years.
On the way home I stopped at a unique little historic building and had a chat with two confirmed "old desert rats" who regaled me with tails of all the gold mining done in the area.
I really enjoyed that visit and promised them I'd return.

BTW...as if ordered by a casting director...the little speck in the sky to the far left is a vulture! : )
About Jephyr Art
I've always been interested in art but had done little more than sketch all my life...and even then I drew mostly just cartoony, line drawings. A few years ago, I decided to take a number of computer art courses at a nearby community college. I met an artist in one of those classes who became a friend and he encouraged me to look into Fine Art classes at the same school. It turns out they have a great Fine Art program teaching traditional techniques of color theory, design, drawing, life drawing/anatomy, oil painting, photography and more. I've learned so much (knowing I still have a LOT to learn) and after having nearly completed a Fine Art and Digital Illustration degree I now have a little more confidence to begin to present...

This is a great scene. I love the desert and saguaro cactus. A great title to add. F/L.

Wonderful shot and description, Jephyr. Reminds us of the old b&w western movies which we still love!
Jephyr Art replied:
Thank you Diannah! There is such a sense of history that comes alive in that vast open desert. What doesn't show well here is how much the land rises and falls. To get to those distant cacti would take a good half hour hike or more! I'm so glad you enjoyed it...thank you again!
