Desert Paintings

The opportunity to find subject matter to paint comes easy in the desert. I look forward to years of discovering and painting the wide array of flora there, the illusive wild life which includes mammals, insects, amphibians and also the many captivating desert structures and buildings with the local peoples.

We occasionally will travel to "Joshua Tree" National Park, on the northern edge of the Sonoran Desert. We also have traveled to the deserts of Arizona where the fauna and flora differ from our California deserts.

Anza Borrego and American Desert Paintings by Betty Gilroy

These realistic nature paintings are of actual places in the California Desert. We visit the Anza Borrego Desert every year in different seasons. This allows us to experience all that this amazing place has to offer. To capture the essence of this great American Desert in my paintings I use photography, taking numerous pictures of my subjects from as many angles as I can and during different times of the day. I then go back to my studio to study those photos and begin creating the painting
