Jack Clint CarterSeveral years ago, my 11-year-old son held a secret meeting with his siblings and asked everyone to pitch in and give me art supplies for my birthday. I awoke that morning to find an easel, canvas, set of acrylics, paint brushes, palette, and the birh of a therapeutic hobby that consumes me. Much of my work is inspired by a childhood running free on a farm near Wenden, Arizona. Located in the Sonoran Desert, Wenden is a tiny community sitting 100 miles from nowhere. Using acrylics and stencils, I attempt to capture the contrasts found in the desert, a peaceful wilderness where the flora and fauna stand armed to pierce, cut, or poison you. A place where loss of water equals loss of life, but the call of the mourning dove or Gambel's quail bounces off cacti and soothes worries. https: //www.facebook.com/AZtoA2artist/ Read More Read Less
