'In any land what is there more glorious than sunlight! Even here in the desert where it falls fierce and hot like a rain of meteors, it is the one supreme beauty to which all things pay allegiance ... The chief glory of the desert is its broad blaze of omnipresent light.'

Brewing Storm


In the Sonoran Desert the most saturated colors appear when the horizon darkens with heavy storm clouds, but the sky directly above is still clear and the sun bright and warm. But very soon a heavy wind will spring up, the clouds roll closer, the mountains disappear and rain starts pouring or even hail might come down hard. This September storm brought all of that to our small community of Picture Rocks, including road closures because of flash floods not far from the location of this painting.  These saguaros are some of the name-giving giants of Saguaro National Park West.
