Coyote in the Garden Print

An irresistible coyote peers out from beneath a flamboyant spring hat bursting with desert life. Carolyn Schmitz paints the coyote with a jumble of prickly-pear pads, Christmas cholla, Mojave asters, hesperaloe and desert-spoon leaves, blackfoot daisies, Southwest coral bean, prickly poppy, acacia and spiny daisies, all tied up with velvet mesquite pods and a snakeskin bow.

Milkweed stems and sage leaves form a necklace while a curious Apache jumping spider and a desert checkered skipper perch on strands of creosote seeds. The back shares the whimsical story of this garden-loving coyote and identifies the plants that adorn her hat—perfect for desert gardeners and animal lovers alike.

Printed with archival pigment-based inks on museum-grade cotton rag paper.
