'Dune Creosote' - Death Valley NP - Mesquite Sand Dunes



6x6 oil on gallery wrapped canvas
private collection

Here is one of the creosote bushes in the late afternoon near sundown.. they grow surprisingly lush considering the extreme climate. The blues of the mountains are very electric.. impossible to convey the colors in this painting with a digital image.

 If you ever get a chance.. go there... because the colors and the light of the desert are not to be missed... December is the best month.
