This painting came from the strange, sacred coolness of walking through the native fan palms in Palm Canyon—a grove that felt like a gathering of gentle giants. Outside, the desert sun was sharp and unforgiving, but the moment I stepped beneath those towering fronds, everything softened. The air cooled, the light shifted, and the palms began to feel almost protective, as if they were fanning me with their slow, deliberate movement. A small creek cut through the grove, adding this quiet shimmer of life against the dry heat.
I remember my feet sinking into the sandy path, my steps naturally slowing, my head tilted back the entire time just to take in their height. The rocky mountains pressed close on one side, but inside the grove, I felt held and soothed by these elephant-sized palms that turned the harsh desert into a sanctuary. This piece carries that softness forward like a pocket of shade you can step into whenever you need to breathe.
48”x36” oil painting done on high quality heavy cotton panel, comes UNFRAMED, and ready to hang. Done with all non-toxic paints and sealed with a natural varnish that gives a subtle lavender scent. Comes with a beautiful hand-signed certificate of authenticity
