Desert Dusk

An original abstract artwork inspired by desert stillness, fading light, and the quiet shift between day and night.

Desert Dusk captures the moment when heat softens and colour deepens, as the desert moves gently toward evening. Warm earth tones mingle with cooler traces of blue and green, creating a sense of pause — a space where the landscape exhales and settles.

Layered washes of ochre, peach, and muted gold form the foundation of the work, while expressive linear marks rise and fall like desert grasses silhouetted against the fading light. Soft pinks and deeper reds emerge through the composition, balanced by subtle blues that punctuate the surface and guide the eye.

The marks feel both grounded and fluid, suggesting growth that continues quietly even as the day draws to a close. Painted intuitively, Desert Dusk reflects the desert not as a harsh environment, but as a place of rhythm, endurance, and understated beauty.

Desert Dusk is part of the Succulent Skies series — a collection of original abstract paintings inspired by desert landscapes, sky-washed light, and the resilience of plant life thriving in sun-soaked environments. Each artwork in the series explores the meeting point between earth and sky, using layered colour, organic line work, and intuitive mark-making to express growth, movement, and quiet vitality. Together, the series creates a harmonious body of work that can be collected individually or displayed as a cohesive set.
