Arizona Villa View


After a day at the Phoenix Botanic Gardens, spending hours taking pictures, and trying to figure out which one to paint, I discovered this villa right next to where I was staying. This villa in Scottsdale, Arizona is surrounded by cacti and orange trees, creating shade, shadows, and fresh orange juice daily! A painter's perfect place! I learned that by adding a little Sap Green and Burnt Sienna, I could come close to the colors of the shadows on the villa. A magical mixing lesson! (Thanks, again, Frankie!)
