Desert Sunset oil on canvas board 8 x10 $75 unframed

  I hope that the heat of the desert is captured here. I had painted the ground with a warm rich red tone to give a sense of the desert heat. I used predominately warm colors as well to give additional feelings to the heat, despite it being the end of the day. But to convey the coming temperature drop I added cooler colors to the sky and the ground-especially in the shadowed areas. I don't often do desert scenes but this was fun to do, especially the rich colors of the sky.
