Golden afternoon hues bathe this desert landscape in warm colors. The blooming ocotillos in the Anza-Borrego state park is definitely worth traveling to see. The heavy red flowers cover the ocotillo stalks after enough rainfall, the crimson color contrasting against the stark desert landscape.

One of Hanson's most iconic paintings, "The Path" is an expressionistic celebration of color and motion. This inviting path, lined with California oak trees, beckons you into another land of beauty and imagination. The brush strokes, loose and lively, create a vivid interplay of color and light between the oak branches.
