Desert Moon | southwestern art | Original acrylic on canvas by Markus Lewis
A towering saguaro cactus stands in front of a glowing golden crescent moon in this bold, one-of-a-kind desert landscape. The teal and emerald night sky is brushed with energetic, layered strokes and scattered with tiny stars, while ribbons of orange cloud drift across the scene. Red rock buttes, spiky agave, and a prickly pear cluster fill the warm orange desert floor, all defined by confident black outlines that give the piece a retro, graphic feel.
The saturated color palette and hand-painted texture make it a striking statement piece for a southwestern art, boho, mid-century, or eclectic space. Original artwork, hand-painted and signed by the artist. As you scroll through our art for sale, you will notice we do have an obsession with southwestern art!
Painted on a thinner 0.5-inch canvas, this 22x28-inch acrylic piece offers a more cost-effective option without sacrificing the rich texture and vibrant color that define the collection. Its lightweight design makes framing simple, allowing you to tailor the artwork to your space with ease.
