PLEASE NOTE: I AM IN THE PROCESS OF MOVING. I will ship in early to mid August since all paintings are in storage. Thanks for your patience!

This was painted en plein air (outside) at Aqua Caliente Indian Reservation, Palm Springs, CA. I hiked up the trail three times to capture it the way I wanted. It's such a beautiful, peaceful place - and the light! The shadows! Exquisite. At first I was too focused on the details, then I backed off and delved into the light and the shadows. The pigments are fused with the Aquabord, making this a Contemporary Fresco. It is varnished and does not need glass.

Materials used:

Aquabord, watercolor pigments
