Salt River Soliloquy

Limited Edition Giclee Print 

  The original watercolor was done in response to the call for entries in the Fiesta Sonoran 2008 Desert Museum Art Show, July 19, 2008. Entries are required to illustrate some aspect of the Sonoran Desert region, a large portion of southwest Arizona and the uppper part of Mexico immediately adjacent to Arizona, including the upper half of the Baja. This image shows the Salt River and cliffs just North of Mesa, Arizona, when the desert was at it's peak of blooming. The Mexican poppies and brittle bush covered the countryside. It's a sight worth going out of your way to see.

Soliloquy, according to the dictionary, is a theatrical monologue or speech, in which the speaker talks to himself or reveals his thoughts without addressing a listener. The Salt River, like all rivers and other bodies of water, speaks to us silently. It cares not if we listen. It was there when the first people came and will probably be there when we're all gone, telling it's story to no one in particular, shaping the rocks and land. Yet it draws us to it like a moth to a flame. Water fascinates and charms. It is essential to all life
