Desert Landscape c.1920 by Marie B. Kendall, Oil on Canvas P3575
Atmospheric desert landscape by Marie B. Kendall, painted circa 1920 in oil on canvas. The work captures a Southwestern valley framed by distant mountain ranges, with washes of lavender, rose, blue, and sage green across the desert floor. The loose, impressionistic brushwork gives the scene a soft, luminous quality, characteristic of early 20th-century California and Western landscape painting.
