'Desert Blues' - Death Valley National Park



6x6    oil on gallery-wrapped canvas    SOLD


Lately I have been busy working on larger pieces.. but I made time to paint this little color study... a quiet mood on a winter afternoon in Death Valley National Park where I lived for many winter seasons. This is near the Salt Creek area of this immense desert.. one of my favorite regions because of the exquisite colors and formations. If you visit.. be sure to take the short side-road and see for yourself.  Also seen from the boardwalk.. you will find in the warm waters of the creek house the tiny pupfish playing hide and seek.. said to be from the era of the dinosaurs... truly an ancient landscape.
