Artist's Drive Slide
watercolor 12 x 20"
 These hills are smooth like velvet with volcanic rubble flowing down their sides. 
In geology, as in all things - 
"everything is in motion, 
some things just move faster than others".

The Artist's Palette
watercolor 12 x 20"
 
 

Last year we couldn't get to the Artist's Palette because the road was washed out. It is a crazy 
jumble of colors, really it is peppermint pink and 
mint green, golds and browns and greys, all in a chaotic mess.


Here are four views of the lowest place in the Western Hemisphere -Badwater- 282' below sea level.
Last year it was a green and turquoise lake (a very rare occurrence).
This year it was the usual salt flat - white & glaring in the sun.


 

 
 



 
 
One afternoon after a heavy rain (sometimes the rain actually makes it to the valley floor) I looked up and saw these wonderful waterlogged dark hills far off, under a grey cloud filled sky.

Desolation Canyon

Scenes from Star Wars were filmed in this canyon.

The Panamint Valley, just over Emigrant pass from Death Valley proper, is surrounded by the snow topped Panamint Mountains, the colorful Darwin Plateau, the Panamint Sand Dunes, salt flats, and it
is filled with miles of green creosote bushes. And in the middle the wonderful Panamint Springs Resort, where you can sit on the porch and drink a beer and watch the whole thing!

Panamint Sand Dunes

The only way to get to the dunes is to walk five miles in the hot sun, when you get there the dunes are even hotter.
