Description
Rancho Mirage is a beautiful city in the Coachella Valley of Southern California.
After a lot of rain, water rushes through a huge arroyo, much of the length of the valley. Parts of some golf courses have the Arroyo run through them, which causes parts to be shut down. Although it doesn’t rain often in the desert, when it does, the overflow rushes quickly.
This scene is from behind the Rancho Mirage Public Library. The late afternoon sun lights up the mountain, where palm trees grow in abundance.
In the foreground, rocks, plants, and sand dominate this pleasant scene which was painted using watercolor pencils.
