Paintings of Palm Trees

In classical antiquity, palms symbolized triumph and victory. Modernly they are often associated with tropical paradise. Gracing the deserts and coastlines of southern California, these climbing wonders were originally brought to America by Spanish Franciscan and Jesuit priest missionaries. Hanson captures these majestic palm trees in all of their iconic glory, seeking out desert palm oases for inspiration, as well coastal palms in Florida and California, and mountain deserts like La Quinta and Palm Springs. The tall, elegant profile of the palm tree allows for unique compositions and viewpoints, dramatic contrasts, and bold lighting effects.
