49 Palms Oasis

Medium: Watercolor, Image Size: 28”h x 22”w, 1983.

I painted this watercolor on location in Joshua Tree National Park at the 49 Palms Oasis. It took several days to complete the painting since I was only able to paint a few hours each day in order to keep the lighting similar. Each day I hiked several miles to the oasis and set-up and did the painting. At the end of each session I cooled off in one of the pools created by the spring. It was a lovely place to be painting in the spring.

This is one of a series of paintings I did that spring of Joshua Tree National Park.

Original is sold.
