This vibrant desert landscape depicts Palm Canyon in Borrego Springs, with a winding wash lined by lush palms set against layered desert mountains. De Kruif’s expressive brushwork and pastel-inflected palette capture the warmth, light, and atmospheric depth of the Southern California desert. The contrast between verdant palms and arid terrain creates a balanced, inviting composition that emphasizes both serenity and scale.

Henri Gilbert de Kruif was an American painter known for his California landscapes, particularly desert and coastal scenes, rendered with a modern, color-forward sensibility.

The artwork measures 34" x 40", and 38" x 44" framed.
