Del Marcos Hotel
Oil on canvas

One of my favourite places ever! The Del Marcos Hotel, a ‘midcentury modern’ masterpiece in Palm Springs, California. The point of view is from our bedroom.
This painting shows the hotel pool before development work was started on the adjacent lot, it is no longer as good a view, as the ‘Spanish-style’ hotel has replaced the hedge and blocks some of the view of the mountain; it’s cultural sabotage, and it was perpetrated by the owner of the Del Marcos.
At least I can remember what it used to look like by looking at this painting which hangs on my living room wall, giving me a blast of SoCal sunshine, even on the bleakest of British days.

Hello Mike, My wife and I just celebrated our 32nd wedding anniversary on July 22nd at the Del Marcos Hotel and the one room featured in your beautiful painting was the very room we stayed in! I was searching online for a painting or print that I may purchase to memorize our memorable visit to such an amazing hotel and found your painting. By chance is your painting available as a print?
Hi Greg, I’m glad you had a great holiday in Palm Springs. We stayed at the Del Marcos a couple of times, it really is an amazing hotel. I’m very sorry to say that I no longer have the painting, and I never made prints of it. Best wishes, Mike.
