About This Jigsaw Puzzle
Two tall penstemon stalks loaded with drooping blue-purple bell flowers emerge from pale sandy desert ground. Warm red-brown canyon walls rise steeply on either side, and a clear blue sky peeks through the gap above. The contrast between the cool blue blooms and the hot terracotta rock gives the scene a striking desert energy.
Coloring Tips
Use periwinkle blue and soft violet for the bell-shaped flowers and deep olive green for the stems and leaves. The canyon walls should be rich burnt sienna and rust-brown to make the blue flowers pop against them.
