Painted on location near Safford, Arizona, March 2010.

I am embarking on a year-long plein air project entitled An Interview With Nature.  I intended to begin the project in March, but other circumstances caused me to delay the project in earnest until May.  I decided to include this painting, though, because I liked it so much.

Drove down a BLM dirt road among the poppies for nearly 8 miles.  The poppies stretched as far as the eye could see in all directions for the entire drive.  Some patches thicker than others, but golden flowers colored a huge area of the landscape.
