"White Sands Yucca" by Anita Blythe – Original Palette Knife Oil Painting
Bring the soft stillness of the desert to your collection with "White Sands Yucca", an original oil painting by New Mexico artist Anita Blythe** (b. 1956). This vertical work pairs beautifully with its companion, "Yucca Grandeur", yet stands confidently on its own.
Two blooming yuccas emerge from the pristine white gypsum dunes of White Sands National Park, their blossoms lit by the gentle glow of a desert sky. In the distance, cool-toned mountain silhouettes and a sweeping, iridescent sky evoke the quiet majesty of the Southwest at dusk.
Painted entirely with a palette knife, the surface reveals rich textures and expressive energy, giving the scene a sense of movement and depth. The work is rendered on a gallery-wrapped canvas, with finished edges and a deep 1.5" profile—ideal for modern display with or without framing.
