Oil on canvas, 16”x20”

This painting captures a quiet moment after a hike, beneath the Superstition Mountains in Arizona. My husband and I fell in love with this area, as well as one another, on these trails, parking in this very lot before hiking into the wild, desert beauty that stretched endlessly around us.

This scene is based on looking back at the mountains after one of those hikes. The moon had just risen, casting a peaceful light over the quiet motel and restaurant.

This painting represents more than just a beautiful place, it also serves as a reminder to me about that one time I fell in love.
