Sun Setting on Bootlegger is named for Bootlegger Campground in Oak Creek Canyon, which has some of the most beautiful water cascades along the creek. Oak Creek is a joy for me - living here in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona - to have this wondrous area less than two hours away. I love the desert, but I love mountain streams even more!
This painting was done in the studio from photos I have taken at that site over the years. When painting in plein air, I'm usually there during the time of bright overhead sunlight. When painting in the studio, I am able to adjust the lighting to a more dramatic late-day scenario, such as in this painting.
Sun Setting on Bootlegger is available through Sedona Arts Center Gallery in Sedona, Arizona.
