Ephedra? I think it's ephedra.

Here's my second attempt at this grassy desert plant thing.  I'm so into it!  I thought this was the weaker composition, but something magical happened on the canvas.  Don't ask me to explain it.  But, I'm saving this puppy for a show.  I'm really excited about showcasing the contrast between my Water Series pieces and the Mojave Desert.  Expect more desert-inspired abstracted pieces in the future. 

Also, green is fun to play with.  I had no idea.  Some professor told me, once, "There is no real green in a tube - you have to mix it."  Not so, Viridian is magical.  I see it, don't you?  Viridian begets sage.  And yes I mixed it.  (insert emoji here)
