Desert Rose Delight

Desert Rose Delight Acrylic paint on canvas by Dorothea Sandra, 36" x 36" in.

"I've been thinking lately about earthy colors. Desert Rose Delight is a fun painting with an abundance of mixed yellow, orange, red, green, and blue activity. And yet, its overall image creates a true mood of peace and happiness. It's always such a delight to create this kind of POP and Calm in one painting. Love the duality!" - Dorothea
