Weathered buildings, dusty roads, and leaning utility poles capture the haunting beauty of Bodie Ghost Town, one of California’s most evocative remnants of the Old West. Sandra’s loose watercolor washes soften the rugged high-desert landscape while warm rusts, ochres, and sun-faded browns bring the abandoned structures to life. The winding road draws the eye into the quiet town, creating a sense of distance, history, and the lingering presence of lives once lived there. 18"x12", unframed.
A small band of donkeys wanders along a quiet Owens Valley road beneath an immense Eastern Sierra sky. In Donkeys, Owens Valley, Sandra uses loose washes of blue, green, ochre, and gray to capture the wide-open character of California’s high desert, with the animals bringing warmth and personality to the expansive landscape. The distant mountains, open roadway, and dramatic clouds create a sense of freedom, solitude, and unhurried Western life. 17"x13", unframed.
