Palms and Sky, Palm Desert, California

A photograph and watercolor of the blustery sky and blowing palms during the last Thanksgiving Holiday.

I have so many photos like this one as I am often taken by the scene when I visit the desert — the stark blue sky, the white clouds of all shapes and sizes and the dark green of the palms highlighted against both.
