Palm Springs

This 5x7 painting captures the quiet drama of a Palm Springs sky as the day exhales into evening. Soft washes of lavender, blush, and sun-warmed gold melt into one another, creating a horizon that feels hazy and slow, like heat lingering after sunset. Layered desert hills glow in coral and rose tones, grounding the sky while still letting it steal the show.

Minimal silhouettes of palm trees rise from the foreground, their dark forms offering a gentle contrast against the luminous sky. Small, simple birds drift across the open space, adding a sense of scale and calm movement. The texture of the watercolor paper peeks through the gradients, giving the scene a tactile softness and an unpolished, lived-in warmth.

Inspired by the ever-changing skies of Palm Springs, this piece feels both expansive and intimate. A moment of desert stillness, sun-faded and dreamy, meant to be lingered over.
