Golden Mantle Ground Squirrel

 This oil painting was inspired by my many trips to the deserts of Arizona.  I love the brilliance of the prickly pear blooms.  Meanwhile, I adore watching the ruby throated hummers cluster around my feeder.  I decided to incorporate both brilliant jewels into one painting.  This painting won People’s Choice Award at the Western Art Show in Death Valley 2008.
