Between Palm Desert and Rancho Mirage, California, is this lone square mile of open, undeveloped desert. This had to be how beautiful the area was with unobstructed views of the colorful mountains. I came by at sunrise and snapped a few pictures to get a good image of the shadows in the mountains.. Then, came back at 8:30AM, set up my easel, and began sketching the beautiful mountains before me. This is the preliminary plein air sketch. After making a few changes, I'll repaint it in a larger format with the morning light. By 10AM, the lighting for this painting had changed so significantly that I put it aside and began another painting.

"ART, something I always wanted as part of my life, HAS become a passion that fills my soul, and leaves me full of joy, one brushstroke at a time." Maria Hunt After 30 years as a successful business woman, Maria Hunt, finding the nest empty, and having fulfilled her role as financial contributor, retired to the Palm Springs area, pursuing her childhood dream of studying and creating art. She started in 2000 with art classes at College of the Desert. She refined her skills in plein air painting by attending workshops across the U.S. The years left to get "really good" at art are diminishing, and her focus is laser sharp. She spends one week a month teaching art to Children (and older versions of children) She...

What a wonderful, sweeping and majestic vision Maria!!! I was actually in a part of California many years ago that this reminds me of. I don't know if it's close ... the area of Palm Springs? Your image and my memories are so different from the East, I thought I was on another planet. Your artwork here shows exactly the beauty I remember!!! I love the rich periwinkle blues and oranges ... magic as always!!! l/f t and p

I thank you , Perry Thank you for taking the time to comment. It is so kind,, I loved standing in the middle of this square mile of undeveloped desert, to get such a great perspective on the desert without houses to change the scene. Sadly, they have finally sold this square mile bordering Bob Hope and Gerald Ford Blvd.. This will be developed in the next few years
