There is an oasis in the desert just this side of Wickenburg that you have probably missed. Usually folks are on there way to Vegas, or to Wickenburg and pass right by the sign just 3 miles or so before town. The Hassayumpa Preserve is cared for by the Nature Conservancy and is a natural lush river habitat with colorful changing seasons. For the last several months members of the Arizona Plein Air Painters have been painting there to capture those seasons getting ready for a show to be hung on Feb. 28th. We hope to show visitors some of the visions that we as artists saw and had to stop and paint. This is another example of those lovely places that we need to keep natural, to save from the home contractors. This piece was done by Dawn Sutherland, she has her studio in Jerome, Az. Her work has a light touch, almost like a pastel, sutble value changes and it captures this place so well. Artist's will be out painting the grounds (8:00am) on Sat.2/28 morning, meeting up with wet paintings ready to sell and show at(2:30pm) . Make sure to visit Wickenburg, it has good food, real old west ranches, and incredible scenery. Should be a great day.
