Oasis - California Desert Landscape

                                                           watermedia on Yupo 26x20

It is surprising how much can be accomplished when you`re snowed in! This is what I did yesterday. It has the look of a diorama in a Natural History Museum and I`m OK with that. Those atmospheric murals were some of my first inspirations. Diversity and complexity are what oasis are all about, lots of life going on. The place is Andreas Canyon just south of Palm Springs. I used to know it  like my backyard when I lived in the area in 1980.
The husband has been creative too, playing with his pictures in Photoshop.
