But...It's A Dry Heat!
After surviving an Arizona summer, a question commonly asked by people is how do you stand the high temperatures? How often have you responded butits a dry heat!
It might be dry! But its hot! And you do sweat! And for contact lens wearers, like me, the dryness is miserable! Having saved hundreds of my used contact solution bottles, I intended to do a painting of them lined up like soldiers in the desert.
Instead, I created views of faces with dry skin, and eyes, bloodshot and irritated from blowing sand. Crackling texture depicts the blistering Arizona sun; while the body of the painting shows references to Arizonas harsh desert environment.
