“Afternoon Finale” 2018 - hand stitched on cloth, tiny desert sunset landscape . Southwest sunsets are definitely cliche... but at the same time, there’s no denying that #Tucson has absolutely spectacular and inspiring #sunsets - I find myself enchanted by the #dramaticskies and I often take photos, to be able to appreciate #mothernaturesbeauty and draw inspiration from the ephemeral displays. ( I actually have another Instagram account of my favorite sunset images I’ve captured over the years -follow @sun_clouds_sunset )#arizonasunset #tramonto #handstitched #stitchedart #paintingwiththread #landscapeart #cielocolorato #sonorandesertliving #sonoransummer #embroideryart #needlepoint #tucsonartist #desertsky (at Cosmo's Moon Jewelry) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1xsCMgAgvN/?igshid=1bi264j9xs5j8

I can’t help but be inspired by the #drama that happens in the #tucsonarizona #sky almost each and every night! BTW, I’m dividing my art from this account and putting it all on another: @bzap_artworks Come follow me there to see images of my artwork. This page will be my main photography page...(another medium I love) * * #sunset #tramonto #arizona #tucsonsummer #sonoransummer https://www.instagram.com/p/B1h9xfehpL4/?igshid=16k02vfnez0sx

After another summer #monsoon storm ⛈ that gifted #rain last night, our #texasranger #bushes in our yard have exploded with glorious #purpleblooms ! Just as yellow blooms on our Palo Verde trees mean springtime, these #magentaflowers in #tucson mean the #monsoonseason is in full swing! These colorful seasonal events are another reason #whyilovewhereilive …#tucsonarizona #sonoransummer #tucsonartist (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg-U69ev6iC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Casa Dolce Casa , Blenman Sunset July 2022… small painting 9”x12” when I paint small, I show my jeweler mindset. These small studies allow me to learn the lessons of the composition and process the feeling before taking it to a larger canvas. ( which I will post here when it’s completed) The #artdeco façade of this house was what drew us to it 17 years ago…Many memories, our son grew up here…it’s like a self portrait now. #oilonpanel #landscapepainting #selfportrait #arizonalife #tucsonart #monsoonsunset #sonoransummer #whyilovewhereilive #skywatcher #smfabostonalumni #maureenbrusazappellini (at Blenman-Elm) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgQB8FtPUXC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

BEHOLD, The rare #puddle sighting in #downtowntucson this week! I guess it rained a bit while I was at work… dagnabbit, I would have loved to go out dancing in a rain shower! Still waiting for a super storm here at Casa BZ…only a short shower so far this #monsoonseason. #iwatchthesky #skywatcher #cityscape #tucson #sonoransummer #splishsplash (at Pima County Public Library) https://www.instagram.com/p/CgDG_q5vG6M/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#Tucson sky in July - oil on panel #landscapepainting - image is from a photo I took from my yard a few days ago, as a potential #storm rolled into the #blenman neighborhood. I’m always hopeful for rain… but it seems like we live in the driest of the #dryheat …. We get the thunder, and the wind… but the rain always seems to skirt our #midtowntucson neighborhood ! Neighbors a mile away can report a deluge and we get… sprinkles. 🤷🏼‍♀️ oh well… at least we can enjoy the drama of those incredible #stormclouds ! #oilpaintingart #sonoransummer #arizonaartist #tucsonartist #whyilovewhereilivetucson https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf4UxgLJ3UW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
