When I was at the Wrigley Mansion last Saturday, I spotted this gorgeous Arizona sunset painting by Ed Mell in one of the dining rooms. I mentioned Ed Mell in a post on March 6th, just days after he passed away. There wasn't any sign and I didn't ask, but I'm pretty sure that candle was placed in front of the painting to pay tribute to a great artist and great man.
In another room I found another Ed Mell painting.
There were two tributes to Ed published in the Arizona Highways magazine however, the one above was a personal tribute from the magazine's editor. I've seen many such tributes over the past few weeks. Ed was much loved in the Valley of Sun and around the world.
I'll make this post my own little tribute to a man whose art work I have greatly admired.

A nice tribute, that sunset painting is superb.
Such an important painter in the painting's story. I like his paintings and sculptures a lot.
That sky is so surreal!
I love that sunset one. Wonderful, Sharon.
Arizona Highways was one of my father's favorites, I will have to go looking for it.
I like those paintings as well.
The first painting is stunning. A lovely tribute to a talented artist.
Looks like he was a very clever artist.
His paintings are beautiful! I can see why he is much-loved.
