	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". On Artist's Drive watercolor 12 x 20"


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.

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 watercolor 9 x 12" 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.	Panamint Tree watercolor 20 x 12"
