The house in front of Elephant Tree

The city of Glendale AZ had a plein air competition on Saturday and I did two paintings before we turned them in at 3pm. My larger painting with the horse won Landscape/Cityscape Purchase Award. I did it a few blocks from downtown in the historic residential section. The hanging boughs on the top left are from a historic large Eucalyptus tree with a plaque labeling it the Elephant Tree. Years ago when the circus came to town, 2 elephants evidently got LOOSE and were finally found under this tree! It's quite famous as a landmark now.
