CATALOG <strong>2022</strong><br />
GREETING CARDS & PRINTS<br />
from original paintings by<br />
CAROLYN SCHMITZ
A display of<br />
<strong>Desert</strong> <strong>Dada</strong><br />
cards is like<br />
having a small<br />
art gallery in<br />
your store.
All cards are blank inside.<br />
The back of each card<br />
features a story about<br />
“The Wild Hat Contest”<br />
that lists the names of the<br />
plants and wildlife in the<br />
paintings.<br />
Accidental Hat<br />
Or was it the ravens’ doing? On one<br />
such spring day, a baby javelina rested<br />
in the shade of a blooming cactus amid<br />
a tangle of wildflowers — blackfoot<br />
daisies, desert trumpets, chinchweed,<br />
Mojave aster, angel trumpets, and<br />
globemallow. He was spied by a raven<br />
making his rounds of social calls.<br />
“How odd,” thought the bird. “He’s<br />
wearing a cactus pad for a hat.” It<br />
wasn’t long before the gossipy bird<br />
had broadcast what he’d just seen to<br />
everyone in the territory.<br />

arid land to people around the world,<br />
inspiring them to open their eyes to yet<br />
more treasures that await discovery in<br />
