Vtg 1940 California Artist Aarne Kivela Original Watercolor Painting / Desert

This is a fabulous desert scene with traditional desert landscape with Cactus. It is matted and framed under glass - the mat opening measures 20" x 13.5". With the frame included it measures about 28.5 x 22.

Signed on the bottom left. I have read that the artist worked for years at the Hollywood Studios as one of their top artists.

His work has been collected by many Hollywood actors including Vincent Price. A very nice California desert watercolor painting for your display and collection.
