Portfolio - Original Oil Paintings by Modern Impressionist Erin Hanson

Sheltered by three mountain ranges, Palm Springs, California, is a famous desert oasis filled with palms, hot springs, and five-star hotels. While much of the land is given over to development, one can still find natural preserves throughout the valley. The quintessential palm oases found scattered through the desert, brilliant sunsets, and the desert itself have inspired artists throughout the centuries. Western artists like Carl Eytel, John Frost, and Erin Hanson have depicted the glorious desert landscapes found in and around Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley.
