Traveling in the Desert

Leaving the city of Los Angeles for a few days in the Mojave Desert has become an annual end of year tradition.  I so look forward to it…it’s  wonderful to travel a few hours away and experience a completely different world.  I’m lucky that I get to be the passenger for most of this road trip, and I sketch non-stop!  Here are a few sketches from the road, from the desert town of Twentynine Palms, and Joshua Tree National Park…

First evening in the desert, watching the sun go down behind the mountain in the outskirts of Twentynine Palms, a hazy view from the highest point in Joshua Tree National Park, and climbers in Hidden Valley…

Завтрак в соседнем месте с местными жителями...

…and another evening in the desert…
