2026.012 Where the Wolds Roam Acrylic on canvas, 36 x 18 inches, 2026 – R. Asleson (NFS) 

Arizona has a mythical quality as my birthplace and where I was adopted. Every time I’ve visited, I’d look for someone who shared my eyes. (I didn’t find family there, but that’s another story). I feel at home in the desert, marvel at the breadth of color in the electric blue sky, and long for leisurely time to walk and paint the paths along the Phoenix area parks.
