Paintings of Palm Springs

Sheltered by three mountain ranges, Palm Springs, California, is a famous desert oasis filled with palms, hot springs, and five-star hotels. While much of the land is given over to development, one can still find natural preserves throughout the valley. The quintessential palm oases found scattered through the desert, brilliant sunsets, and the desert itself have inspired artists throughout the centuries. Western artists like Carl Eytel, John Frost, and Erin Hanson have depicted the glorious desert landscapes found in and around Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley.

This stunning triptych painting was created on three deep canvases, with the painting continued around the wrapped edges, for a unique modern look. Bring the saturated color and dawn beauty of California's desert into your home, capturing this fleeting moment of transient aesthetic. The thick brush strokes of oil paint stand off the canvas with spontaneous energy and motion, causing the painting to come alive. This painting was created on three museum-depth canvases, with the painting continued around the edges of each stretched canvas. This painting was designed to hang without a frame.

This is the view of Palm Springs that I have seen so many, many times, sitting in my booth at the Frances Stevens Park. I love watching the colors change through the palm trees as the sun starts to creep behind San Jacinto mountain in the late afternoon.
