We visited relatives in Southern Arizona near the Dragoon Mountains. Our hosts were terrific and entertained us with visiting, biking, hiking, feasting, throwing a frisbee for the dogs, and admiring the landscape as it changed throughout the day.

The Dragoon Mountains dominate the view from the house, and I sketched them several times. The landscape’s varied planes fascinated me, and I tried to capture the sculptured look of the mountains and boulders in my sketches. I took lots of photos and plan to make some studio paintings of these mountains when I am home again.
