Lilac and Azure Skies 2021

Carrie Graber's "Lilac and Azure Skies" (2021) captures the iconic mid-century modern aesthetic of Palm Springs, California. The painting depicts a woman standing by a pool with a martini in hand, looking out toward the distant mountains. The bright colors and sharp lines create a sense of luxurious leisure, while the desert landscape provides a backdrop of natural beauty. This painting is a contemporary take on the style of artists such as David Hockney, who also explored the California landscape and its inhabitants in their work.
