Paintings of the California Desert

Discover the beauty of the California desert through the eyes of Erin Hanson. Joshua Tree National Park and the Mojave Desert have been lifelong inspirations for Erin. She grew up among the Joshua Trees and sandy desert of southern California's high desert and later became an avid rock climber. Watching endless sunrises and sunsets over the stark, mountainous landscape gave the artist an appreciation for the depths of color that can be found in the desert, and her desert paintings often have surprising pops of purple, blue, and orange. She also loves painting the wildflower super blooms that appear in desert landscapes like Borrego Springs and Death Valley. You don't have to wait for a super bloom to see the desert ocotillo in bloom -- their bird-like red blooms have captured Erin's imagination for decades. You will also see many iconic, desert palm tree paintings in this collection.

"Purple Scrub" was one of the first paintings Erin Hanson ever painted in the style of Open Impressionism, while she was developing her style and rock climbing at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada. Her iconic style is now taught in art schools worldwide, and her pieces hang in the permanent collections of many museums in the United States. This rare painting was made available for us to sell on consignment. This painting captures Joshua Tree National Park with a purple edge, capturing the early dawn light of the high desert. The work was done on 3/4" stretched canvas, and the piece arrives framed in a new 3.5"-wide black and gold plein air frame.
