Indian Canyons
9 X 12", o/cp. Finally getting around to blogging the last day of my three-day painting trip to Palm Springs and the surrounding desert. This is from Indian Canyons, just three miles south of Palm Springs. It's a wonderland of stunning rock formations and steep ravines. There are miles of trails throughout this almost-untouched area of incredible beauty, sacred to the Agua Caliente Cahuilla tribe. These views are toward Fern Canyon. Palm Canyon Creek is in the foreground.
6" X 8", o/cp. By the way, the seemingly infinite numbers of Washingtonia Fan Palm trees throughout Palm Springs and Palm Desert are indigenous. They're the only palm tree that is indigenous to Southern California.
