Desert willow blooms with onion

Desert willow bloom with onion, oil on panel, 6×6 in. | SOLD

A desert willow popped up in our yard a year ago and this year has been loaded with blossoms all summer long. I’ve really been enjoying it since I can see it outside my studio door. The super thin  leaves go well with the chrysanthemum design on the ginger jar.

Here’s the setup. The lilac platter is a new addition to my still life props and goes well with the blossoms.
