Day 23 Of 30

Day 23, Haboob. 8 x 8 Acrylic on paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado

One of my first visits to Phoenix, we saw a haboob. It was incredible. We were inside the hotel room, on the second or third floor. Day turned to night. It passed quickly, and by morning, the weather was calm.

It’s a huge sand storm. HUGE. Basically, winds from a storm shoot straight down towards the ground. That stirs up a huge wall of dust which is carried on those winds for miles.

Here’s a look:

Today’s painting reminded me of one of these storms. We have had a couple of mini’s behind the house. When it was still just a field. A sunny day quickly became grey and dark. They are stunning to watch. I hope I am never out and about when one hits. Certainly not driving.

Happy weekend! We are down to the last seven!

Feeling. Relaxed. Can you believe it? Usually the third week of this month-long challenge has me thinking,

“Why did I sign up for this AGAIN?”

But that feeling hasn’t hit me yet. Thank goodness. I am ahead by three. I planned on taking a night off. But here it is 12:02 am, and I still need to post. So much for my lofty dream of climbing into bed early and watching a movie.

It was a productive day, and that’s a good thing!

Had fun today. Really. Right up to the point I wrecked the piece. Seven plus creative and satisfying hours, down the drain. This is the palette I used, along with stenciling, collage, and pen. Tomorrow is another day!
