Approaching Storm at Mustang Ranch (Joshua Tree National Park). 3.5” squared, gouache on paper. I live in Joshua Tree. Government shutdowns have a huge effect out here with the National Park. Our national parks are a treasure and the people working to preserve them deserve better. #art #gouache #jt

My husband (Tyler Stockdale, he’s an amazing designer!) and I collaborated on this sign and I’m obsessed. I painted the kitty face and Tyler did the typography, flowers, and overall layout. I love it. Now I want to make a million signs together. Tyler also built the catio that our cats love. #art

Classes are starting on my campus this week. Things have been a bit hectic between trainings, class prep, and getting the studio ready for students. I made this little painting yesterday. Painting settles me. Even when my to-do list is crazy, I have to take little moments to unwind. #art #gouache

Glowing Cholla on the Oasis Trail, oil on canvas, 7” x 5”. We did the 49 Palms Oasis Trail in June on a surprisingly mild day. That tuft of green in the distance is the oasis, which is filled with monumental palm trees. #oilpainting #joshuatree #artsky #landscape #art #cactus #cactuslover

Approaching Storm (Cool Hues). I love desert storms and clouds—they are so fun to translate into paint. Oil paint on a 7” x 5” canvas. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #desert #joshuatree #desertartist #desertart

Climbing at Spy with Peanut the Crag Dog, gouache on paper, 4” x 6”. We went out climbing the other night at Spy Mountain and the cutest dog named Peanut was there. She navigated the scramble to the crag with ease and was soaking in the scene. Had to paint her! #gouache #painting #rockclimbing #art

Billowing cloud in Monsoon Season, gouache on paper, 6” x 4”. In the Mojave dessert we’re in a season of epic clouds—I’m hoping for some monsoon rains. #gouache #painteveryday #landacapepainting #art #artsky

Rising Cholla, oil on canvas, 7” x 5”. I decided to not add the cactus spines to the cholla here—I love the undulating forms to the cactus underneath and wanted to emphasize that. #oilpainting #cactuslover #art #painting #landscape

For today’s #BlueSkyArtShow the theme #Jagged had me searching through my work for a painting highlighting the rocks in Joshua Tree. Primarily composed of quartz monzonite, they’re beautiful, but if you fall while climbing you get some major exfoliation. Time to paint more rocks! #painting #art

Daddy Quails and Their Baby: A Modern Family. Just finished! I’m going to detail the process in my newsletter that will be released later today—sign up to see all the crazy stages, process, and photos of the cute quail in our yard. substack.com/@chloeallred... #painting #quail #desertlandscape #art

@blueskyartshow.bsky.social For #BlueSkyArtShow and the theme #Gratitude Snowy Desert, gouache on paper, 3.5 inches squared. I’m grateful the snow translated in this little painting! I’ve been wanting to paint these snowy scenes, but was afraid of painting the snow. #desertlover #gouache

Mirrored After the Storm, gouache on paper, 3.5” squared. I’m excited to pop this piece behind a mat and into a frame. Thinking of trying a bigger version of this too showing more of the water reflection. Storms in the desert are so dynamic—I loved this moment of reflection. #art #desert #gouache

4” x 4” gouache painting of this amazing area in JT. I’ve been wanting to paint this landscape for a while! If you are in the hi-desert area I will be doing a free gouache landscape workshop this Friday (August 1st) from 3-8pm at Corner 62 in 29 Palms. More details in the comments! #art #gouache

Coyote and the Water Tower, drypoint intaglio. I’m super excited by how rich the darks printed. I’ve been making works focused on the Mojave desert, this is the second desert dogs piece—which may evolve into a little series itself. #printart #printsky #artsky #printmaking #joshuatree #coyote #artist

Progress from my easel on this 24” round painting of desert quail in oil. I’m playing with a different approach here of doing a more defined underdrawing, followed by an imprimatura layer. #oilpainting #landscapepainting #quail #desertlife #imprimatura #cactuslover

Soooo satisfying 😍

“Bounty: Silver Dollar Prickly Pear”, oil on canvas, 7” x 5”. We are going to have an epic harvest of prickly pear this year—so much jam to come. Here’s the painting and inspiration from our garden. #cactuslover #desertart #desertartist #painting #oilpainting #BlueSkyArtShow #SummerDaze

In progress imprimatura underpainting of a cutie quail family. I’m toning and working on a portion at a time. I plan for this painting to have lots of pinks, greens, purples, and a few notes or orangey-yellows. #paintingprogress #oilpainting #underpainting #quails

Desert dog. ☀️ I am so pleased with how this drypoint intaglio I created of my friend’s adorable pit bull pup turned out. This was such a cute moment with her just taking in the sun, I had to make some art about it. 🥹💕 #intaglio #printmaking #printsky #artsky #pitbull #desert #joshuatree

Torch Cactus Blooms, oil on canvas, 7” x 5”. I worked on a fluorescent pink tone and did my underpainting in yellow—I love leaving some of those colors popping through. Here is the painting and the torch cactus in our garden. #blueskyartshow #cactuslover #desertart #torchcactua www.allredchloe.com

Notttttt sure how I feel about this painting…I do like playing with heavy impasto and palette knife applications. Utilized Gamblin Cold Wax medium here for maximum texture. #impasto #oilpainting #landscapeart #blueskyartshow #desert #art
