Dubai, 60 x 60, acrylic

Today was the first day back in the studio after many weeks off. I have been teaching a painting course at NVCC this summer as well as taking a course in my program of study. So it has been busy. I was inspired by a friends photo today of Dubai. The landscape was a reddish purple-- misty hue. It goes along nicely with the green palette of summer.

I found these pointy earth objects during one of my walks last week. They remind me of claws.

This is the earth object I found. If anyone can identify it, I can get the genus and species.
