Ed Mell, 2008 Arizona Historymaker "Bolts of a Storm"

 Some days you look up at the sky and think "It's an Ed Mell Day." KJZZ The Show comments, "The Southwest landscape and its clouds above have long inspired songs and musical projects like iconic paintings by Ed Mell. We recommend seeing “Bolts of a Storm,” a painting by Ed Mell that’s on the second floor of the Phoenix Art Museum in the Western American exhibition on the north wing."
