Great job on the art! I've lived in the US southwest (Arizona and New Mexico) for the past 5 years and I could definitely tell this was Arizona from the thumbnail alone. I do think it's a bit of a misconception that the desert is barren though, there's a huge diversity of plant and animal life. If you do come to Arizona and want to learn about the ecosystem here, I highly recommend the botanical garden in Phoenix!
Thanks you so much! I'm really glad you like it. Yes for sure, it may not be as green as a forest but definitely full of life in a different way! I have been to the grand canyon when I visited the US but I would love to explore more of Arizona and the western states one day so thank you for the recommendation! ☺
How in the world are you able to draw such straight lines free-handed? I definitely need a ruler. I also love your paintings. I read books by a mystery writer that take place in and around Bisbee, Arizona (Cochise County). She describes the scenery and you just made it come to life for me. You have a new, dedicated fan.
Aw thank you for such a lovely compliment, I'm so pleased it matches up to descriptions of the real thing! Lol, it takes a bit of practice and it is helped by the dot grid paper. I definitely don't always get it right though, there are a few wobbly lines but I'm usually too impatient to use a ruler 😅💕

The way that I saw the shape of the rock at the start and instantly knew it was that national park in Arizona
That might be stereotyping but I really associate Arizona with those silhouettes
Yes, it's such an iconic place, I'm glad my design was recognisable to you 😊❤
