This is the original oil painting Desert Arcadia from my Rainbow Portals series. Inspired by the American Southwest, it captures the red rocks, vast desert, and the electricity of monsoon season — but never settles fully into realism. A rainbow arcs across the desert sky like a pulse, bending the landscape just enough to feel dreamlike, as if it belongs to memory or mirage.
