"Gossiping Geckos" - 1st Place Winner, Riverside County Fair & National Date Festival

I'm hearing this gossip! "I'm not saying she's dramatic, but I'm pretty sure she won 1st Place at the fair for her reaction to losing her tail last month!"

Welcome to the most entertaining neighborhood watch in the Coachella Valley! This delightful 1992 watercolor captures a community of chatty geckos sharing the latest desert gossip across their colorful striped world. Each gecko brings their own personality to the conversation - some stretched out for maximum drama delivery, others curled up to listen to the juiciest details.

Created with masterful watercolor technique, this whimsical piece earned 1st Place at the prestigious Riverside County Fair and National Date Festival in Indio, California. The irony wasn't lost on the artist - creating a piece about dramatic geckos that itself dramatically won top honors!

The soft pastels and playful composition transform these desert dwellers into the most endearing gossip circle you've ever seen. It's impossible to look at this piece without smiling and wondering what secrets these little chatterboxes are "spilling the beans" about today.

22" x 30" watercolor, 1992 1st Place Winner - A celebration of community, humor, and the universal joy of a good story!
