“I stopped on the roadside to capture on paper the feeling of a relentless summer sun beating down. This drawing began its life as a watercolor but I could barely breathe in that dense hazy heat. I felt as though every bit of moisture is being wrenched from my body and from the earth around me. I could not allow myself the luxury of leisurely painting this water color and building layer upon layer of loving color, so I took out some pastels and wildly rendered the scene before me. I had to work quickly as you can see from the almost frenzied strokes because I was afraid I would just melt away.” ~ Ednah
