SW Desert Mesa Landscape Watercolor

Expressive original watercolor depicting a dramatic Southwestern desert landscape with rugged mesas and rock formations beneath a broad blue and cloud-filled sky. The artist uses loose, fluid washes, strong earth tones, splattered pigment, and areas of exposed paper to create an atmospheric interpretation of the American Southwest. Signed at the lower right with an indistinct artist signature and dated 1996. The reverse of the watercolor sheet appears blank, with no visible title or additional artist information. Professionally presented under glass with a wide cream-colored mat, narrow black inner trim, and decorative black frame.
