Desert Sunset Oil Painting

Palm trees and desert plants are silhouetted against a dramatic Southern California sunset sky in Desert Sunset oil painting.  A quiet moment in a warm summer’s evening is captured in the melting colors and strong contrasts of this painting. Between the palms are the slender stalks of an ocotillo, one of the iconic plants of the Coachella Valley. Ocotillos look dead in the heat of summer but come alive with green leaves and red flower plumes after a little rain. Desert Sunset is painted on a 24” x 30” x .75” canvas.
