San Andreas Fault Painting

This is a fascinating spectacle in the Californian desert -the oasis is painted in bright yellow- gold combinations to reveal the heat of the hot sun beaming down on this entrance to the oasis. It is overgrown with a variety of types of Palm trees some are brilliant green in the sun while others appear to be almost a rust- like colour in the shaded areas The old wooden walkway reveals the light and shadow in the painting with touches of mauve and faded brownish hues. The large palm in the foreground has a variety of colours from red, orange, greens, beige and mauves which show how the palm has been given a substantial haircut so the visitors can walk under it to get deep into the oasis, where it becomes much darker.The shaded areas have combinations of dark grey, red, mauve, greens, orange.
