SOUTHWEST HALLOWEEN PAINTING VIDEO TUTORIAL
I lived in the desert Southwest for many years. During that time, I came to love the desert and surrounding hills. Fall was a very special time of year, because temperatures cooled, and being outside was a joy.
I created this painting for a class I taught. I love to get it out for fall and Halloween each year.
