A Passion For Art

In the August issue of Southwest Art, we feature the work of Tom and Barbara Hill, a couple who share a passion for art. "I love to paint water, docks, harbors—all of it," Tom Hill says. His watercolor painting shown above, PUERTO PEÑASCO HARBOR AT LOW TIDE, was inspired by the Mexican port just south of the Arizona border, where the Sonoran Desert meets the Sea of Cortez. Barbara, who works primarily in oils, prefers to paint animals in peaceful settings.

More than 50 pieces of art are for sale by four artists: John Axton, Barry McCuan, Lynne E. Windsor, and Doug Dawson. Bidding begins on Monday, August 15, and lasts for two weeks.
