Valley Heat captures the bold verticals of saguaro cactus standing against the haze of desert afternoon. Wieth’s brushwork channels radiating light through saturated greens and ochres, pushing warmth into every plane. The blue sky lifts the heat visually while layered yellows and browns ground the scene in rock and dust.
 
This is a painting about endurance—plants, stones, and painter holding steady under sun. Perfect for collectors drawn to Southwest intensity rendered with sensitivity and rhythm.
