“Desert Landscape” by Monna Barrick

Enjoy this beautiful 36×48 framed original oil painting by Monna Barrick.

It is so large that it is like having a desert mural scene in your home.

“Desert Landscape” is available by appointment – Call Jim Schuett at 480-277-7550.

Hi, I’m Monna Barrick, originally from Oklahoma and have lived in Mesa, Arizona for many years. Since 1982,

I have been lucky enough to make my living as an artist, having studied with such notables as Leon Franks, John Howard Sanden, Bettina Steinke, Leslie DeMille and Norman Rockwell’s famous art course instructors.

My works are impressionism and are mostly done with palette knife, combining some details with the brush. I love to paint all subjects including this beautiful desert so rich in color.

A wonderful influence in my life was my late husband Jim Barrick, a professional artist in his own right. I learned many valuable lessons from him. I now teach art and painting two days a week in Mesa.

Life is great when your job is doing what you love! I really hope you like what you see here as much as I enjoy painting them. Thank you for looking!

Native American Indian Tribes, Leaders, and Info

>>> From:   http://www.historyonthenet.com/Native_Americans/tribes.htm

There were many different Native American tribes and those with similar characteristics formed a main tribe or nation. Each had its own language, religion and customs.

For the most part the tribes lived peaceably believing that nature was sacred and was to be shared. However, the coming of the Europeans and the removal of their land led to conflict both between the different tribes and between the Indians and whites.

By the end of the nineteenth  century the Indians had lost their fight to preserve their traditional way of life and those that had survived the conflicts were confined to reservations.

 Pinetop-Lakeside – A Perfect Place To Live, Work & Play!

DSC_0152

At an elevation of 6,800 feet, Pinetop-Lakeside is surrounded by the natural beauty of the White Mountains, the Apache/Sitgreaves National Forest, and the Fort Apache Reservation.  Hiking, biking, horseback riding, hunting, and fishing are popular recreational activities; camping and picnic facilities are provided throughout the area, and the White Mountain Trail system provides over 180 miles of developed multi-use trails.

Founded in the early 1880’s by Mormon pioneers, Lakeside derived its name from the area’s lakes, while Pinetop was named for a saloon keeper who served the Fort Apache soldiers.  The two communities of Pinetop and Lakeside incorporated as one town in 1984.

Here, sunny skies and four classic seasons enhance a variety of activities. In winter, visitors can enjoy sledding or tobogganing, snow boarding, ice-fishing, and, of course, world-class downhill and cross-country skiing at the nearby Sunrise Park Resort.   Miles of groomed trails and  first-rate facilities draw enthusiasts from around the world.

Spring, too, is a special time. Frozen lakes and streams open themselves to fishermen (some of the best fishing of the year can be found in spring), boaters, hikers and adventurers.  Meadow grasses turn green, and wildflowers dot the landscape; as the earth rejuvenates, so does the spirit.

In summer, with stubborn patches of gleaming snow still clinging to her summits, the White Mountains offer visitors a variety of scenic attractions and an unlimited array of outdoor activities. Some 50 alpine lakes and 800 miles of cold, crystal clear rivers and springs draw visitors throughout the DSC_0009season to this mountain playground.

Autumn is a favorite season for many, when the land and its inhabitants prepare for the coming snows. The White Mountains offer a change of colors to rival any in the nation, with the added pleasure of relative solitude. Wildlife is abundant, trails are not crowded. Hunters and fishermen enjoy spectacular sport; hiking and sightseeing are at their best.

In the White Mountains, whatever the season, whatever your interest, it’s always the right time to visit, and you are always welcome!
