Introduction
and
History
Introduction
In order to better understand our neighborhood and the project we are asking you to help us fund, it is important that we share information about the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization.
History of the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization (OLPNO) Old Las Palmas had a neighborhood group that had met for many years to discuss neighborhood issues. However, in 2005, the Palm Springs City Council formalized a process for officially recognizing neighborhood organizations throughout Palm Springs through a new City ordinance. The Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization (OLPNO) was one of the first neighborhoods to be recognized as an "official" neighborhood. There are now 52 recognized neighborhoods. Of the 257 single family homes in OLNO, 166 are paid members of OLPNO.
This makes OLNO one of the most inclusive neighborhoods in the city with participation of 65% of our homes as paid members. Each year OLPNO holds a Fall Meeting and a Spring Meeting. Both meetings are attended by more than 100 of our neighborhood residents.
OLPNO believes in community involvement and working to improve our neighborhood for our residents.
Beautification of our Neighborhood
From the very beginning OLPNO has spearheaded projects to beautify Old Las Patmas. One of our first projects was to landscape the medians in our neighborhood. The medians along West Chino Drive, Mountain View, and Via Las Palmas are now thriving with desert landscaping and drought tolerant plants. The OLPNO Board keeps a close eye on these medians and works with the City to maintain them beautifully.
Our next successful project created six Old Las Palmas
markers throughout our neighborhood. These markers
will stand the test of time and will outlive most of us! The markers are located on the West Chino Drive median, in
the Mountain View median, in the Via Las Palmas median
(where there are two), in a small median at the corner of Merido Place and Prescott Drive, and the last one at the
HOLE PLUNIS OLD LAS PIEKUS
corner of Camino Sur and Camino del Corte. These
markers are now the property of the City of Palm Springs.
Old Las Palmas Marker
Our neighborhood has continually completed small beautification projects, like painting over the graffiti on the wall of the parking lot behind Koffi North. Recently we ordered enough street "topper" signs to place on each and every one of our street signs in Old Las Palmas.
A Desire for Art in Our Neighborhood and Selecting an Artist In late 2022 the OLPNO Board decided that we would like to have some significant public art in Old Las Palmas. We discussed many artists and locations and settled on contacting Delos Van Earl for his thoughts and ideas. Delos is a well-respected artist with a studio in Yucca Vally, California. He has multiple pieces on display in the Coachella Valley, including the famous Jungle Red Sculpture in the Warm Sands Neighborhood of Palm Springs and The Seeker on El Paseo in Palm Desert. Included with this packet are three articles on Delos' work in Art Patron Magazine, Palm Springs Life, and Xtra Magazine. Also included is a listing of his solo exhibitions, group exhibitions and reviews in publications of his work. You may view more of his work at www.delosvanearlstudios.com. Members of the OLPNO Board asked Delos to tour our neighborhood and make suggestions for artwork. We as a board thought the median on Via Las Palmas was the ideal location for our first art installation.
Delos was not sold on that location. We showed him the very long West Chino median, and he was immediately anxious to make suggestions to us about art along that median. We asked him to develop ideas, and he did.
Selecting the Art
Delos floated the idea to us of creating "Creature Alley" along the West Chino Median. He suggested at least five sculptures to line the median to create a long, interesting art installation. We were intrigued. Delos thought our first installation should be the piece he titled "Red Dragon." Over the next few weeks Delos created a prototype of his proposed Red Dragon, along with pictures of four more
sculptures that he proposed to install along the West
Chino median. As a group we were immediately on board
with his ideas and design. We all loved the concept and the images of the art pieces! But the process from design to installation needed to be addressed.
Prototype of Red Dragon
Engaging the Community
We decided to dedicate our OLPNO Spring Meeting in April of 2023 to introducing our neighborhood to our idea for the art walk Creature Alley along the West Chino median. We asked Delos to deliver the prototype of Red Dragon and to attend our Spring Meeting. We had over 100 of our neighbors in the backyard of one of our board member's home. The meeting was a complete success. The great majority of neighbors loved Red Dragon, and they especially enjoyed meeting Delos Van Earl, the artist and creator. We knew we had a winner. In addition to this meeting, we sent numerous emails to our membership describing the process and introducing the artist, Delos Van Earl. We were ready - except for the funding. The price of the first piece, Red Dragon, was $25,000. Fortunately, we had reserve funds left over from the Old Las Palmas Home Tour that we did in conjunction with Modernism Week a couple of years ago. We had almost $20,000 available. So how to proceed? Engaging the Public Arts Commission
We contacted the City of Palm Springs and the Chair of the Public Arts Commission to see how we should proceed. We worked with both Arts Commission Members Russell Pritchard and Gary Armstrong on the process. It was recommended that we plan to procure the artwork with the help of the Public Arts Commission, and after installation, we donate the artwork Red Dragon to the City of Palm Springs for its Public Arts Collection. As we at the time had $20,000 in funds from our Modernism Week Home Tour, we asked the Public Arts Commission for the needed $5,000. They were incredibly supportive and recommended that the City Council approve our request. City Council did approve our request, and Red Dragon was installed on November 7, 2023. A subsequent dedication ceremony was held with a significant amount of press coverage. The OLPNO Board of Directors is most thankful to the Public Arts Commission and to the City Council for their help in getting this incredible piece of public installed in our neighborhood on the West Chino median.

The Collection:
We worked with Delos Van Earl to create four more sculptures that we envisioned placing along the West Chino Median. We envisioned these sculptures to be toward the eastern end of the median to be more visible to the public as they drive along North Palm Canyon and to be especially enticing to the customers of the shops at The Corridor Palm Springs. Delos agreed to create prototypes for our review.
The Prototypes:
Delos Van Earl created and presented us with four amazing prototypes of the sculptures he envisioned placing along the Chino Median. A photo of each is shown on the flowing page.

Our Board was thrilled with these creations.
Decisions, Decisions:
We as the board of the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization were sold the idea of four more creatures to be added to Creature Alley, and also sold on Delos Van Earl as our artist. However, we do not make decisions in a vacuum. We involved our neighborhood residents to make two decisions. 1) Did they like the current piece, Red Dragon, and do they want to continue with the creatures along West Chino median to create Creature Alley, and 2) if so, which of the creatures should be the next two to be installed along Creature Alley? Spring of 2024 gave us the perfect opportunity to engage our neighbors.
We held a Cheers on Chino Block Party on March 9t. The Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization used the parking lot of Temple Isaiah to have our Cheers on Chino event, complete with carnival games, live music, food and drinks, and a large table where we displayed the four prototype sculptures with their names. We asked our neighbors for their opinion of the current Red Dragon sculpture, and a large majority of residents were very supportive Then we asked which sculptures they preferred to be the next two. A large majority of residents selected Prince. Not far behind in second place was Blue Belly Crab.
We knew we had two winners! We decided to work toward installation of both Prince and Blue Belly Crab as soon as possible.

Phase Two
The Presentation:
On June 6, 2024, members of the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization made a presentation to the Palm Springs Public Arts Commission. Joining the neighborhood representatives was artist Delos Van Earl. The community members and artist were there to ask the Public Arts Commission for financial assistance to install the next two sculptures by Delos Van Earl, Prince and Blue Belly Crab. OLPNO did not have sufficient funds at the time to move forward, and therefore asked the commission for $50,000 to fund the installation of both Prince and Blue Belly Crab. The artist, Delos Van Earl, made an impassioned presentation about the need to have the full collection in place to portray its full meaning.
The Decision:
After lengthy discussion the Public Arts Commission voted to support the $50,000 in funding of the two sculptures. Needless to say the representatives of the neighborhood and the artist were thrilled! Please be aware that the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization and its members are extremely grateful for this support.
Next Step:
The final step in the process requires the Palm Springs City Council to approve the Public Arts Commission request. That approval came in July of 2024. Again, neighborhood representatives and the artist are sincerely grateful to the Palm Springs City Council for approving the funding of these two sculptures.
Installation:
The sculptures had to be created and that takes several months. The goal of the neighborhood organization was to have the two sculptures in place for Modernism Week in February 2025. Delos Van Earl, the artist, was able to meet the timeline and the sculptures were installed in January 10, 2025.
Interest and Reaction:
The reaction of neighborhood residents has been overwhelmingly positive. Many of our residents have personally thanked our neighborhood board for facilitating this installation of two more members of Creature Allely. Additionally, residents of the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood report that frequently they see visitors taking "selfies" with these sculptures as a souvenir of Palm Springs and its commitment to public art. Again, a HUGE THANK you to both the Palm Springs Public Arts Commission and the Palm Springs City Council for supporting this very visible public art in the Old Las Palmas neighborhood for both residents and visitors to enjoy.
Phase Three
and
Request for
Funding
It's Time to Complete Creature Alley:
The Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization and artist Delos Van Earl believe that Creature Alley is incomplete without the two remaining sculptures, Yellow Warbler and Dancing Rhino, that are part of the series. We are committed to getting these sculptures in place as soon as possible to complete the street scape. The two remaining sculptures will be equally spaced between the existing Red Dragon sculpture and Blue Belly Crab. See the attached diagram for more complete placement information.
What Will It Cost?
Though prices have gone up on materials needed to create Yellow Warbler and Dancing Rhino, artist Delos Van Earl has agreed to keep the costs the same. The cost is $25,000 each, or a total of $50,000.
This cost is the complete cost and includes creating a concrete base and installation by crane of the two sculptures. For art of this quality and magnitude we feel the cost is very reasonable. An invoice from the artist is attached.
How Long Will It Take?
We don't know exactly but artist Delos Van Earl has promised to move these pieces along as quickly as possible. We hope to have them in place for most of the tourist season Winter 2026.
And Most Importantly, An Offer by the Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization:
The Old Las Palmas Neighborhood Organization hosted a home tour in conjunction with Modernism Week 2025. Our tour was extremely successful and completely sold out. We want to use some of the profits from the tour to help beautify our neighborhood and add significant art to the Palm Springs Public Arts Collection. We don't have the funds to purchase both sculptures, but we are in a position to contribute.
THE OLD LAS PALMAS NEIGHBORHOOD ORGANIZATION WILL FUND THE PURCHASE OF ONE OF THE SCULPTURES FOR $25,000 IF THE PALM SPRINGS
PUBLIC ARTS COMMISSION RECOMMENDS FUNDING THE PURCHASE OF THE SECOND SCULPTURE FOR $25,000. WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE PALM SPRINGS CITY COUNCIL WILL NEED TO SUPPORT THIS OFFER TO MAKE IT OFFICIAL.
We are very fortunate to have the great support of our neighbors and their help in organizing and hosting our Modernism Week Tour 2025 and we want to give back a large portion of the profits for the benefit of the City of Palm Springs.

DELOS VAN EARL
Delos Van Earl was born in 1951 in Port Angeles, Wash., the fifth of five children in a classic Northwest logging family. He moved to Crescent City, Calif., with his family at age 5. When he entered Shasta College in Redding, he thought he would become a high school art teacher and football coach. But he would earn a bachelor's degree at California State University Chico and a masters in fine art from Mills College in Oakland. He lives in Joshua Tree with his wite, Jena.
Driving through the heat of the desert near Joshua Tree National Park in California, you would be lucky to come across the studio of artist Delos Van Earl. Inside the warehouse-like building you will find piles of cool steel sheets, some sprinkled across the floor in preparation for welding or awaiting cutting. There are also paintings scattered throughout:
some are finished, some are still wet with the most recent application of enamel, and others have a powdery dusting on top - the smell of freshly sanded paint lingers in the air.
Everywhere you look, there are bright splashes of color and an aura of energy fills the studio.
While most artists who are as established as Delos have settled on a particular medium, Delos has managed to master both painting and sculpture. He captures a sense of balance and vigor in using either steel or enamel paint to form his creations Delos works on about a dozen paintings at a time, arranging them about his studio, focusing on one, then jumping to another. Seeds, shells, string, feathers, and twigs are embedded in the 20+ layers of oil enamel tediously applied in sessions as each layer dries and is then subsequently sanded down. When complete, the paintings are hard to resist touching. The surface appears as though the depth of the layered enamel can be felt, but the paintings are completely smooth.
In Van Earl's large paintings, grace comes at a tremendous physical cost: the process. He applies up to 20 layers of oil enamel paint on museum-quality wood panels - many of them as large as six-foot squares or paired in dynamic diptychs. Within each thick coat, he embeds little gems from nature — seeds, dried flowers, twigs, pine needles, grass, bird feathers, and other items. This transmutation of detritus into art — in addition to the tape, rope, and even foam he buries into the layers — gives way to the physical and aesthetic challenge of unearthing the final picture. This time-consuming (waiting for each coat to dry before applying the next) and exhausting (sanding through the layers) process ultimately gives each painting the appearance of a deeply textured surface. However, his finishing process - sanding, waxing, and buffing - makes for wonderful irony: The final pictures, chock full of the stuff of nature, are impossibly smooth to the touch and a gutsy departure from the rough, often chemically corroded edges of his earlier sculptures and geometric, painted steel wall paintings.
Talent and Resiliency
DELOS VAN EARL Embraces Change
written by Judy Nemer Sklar
i have been told that the buzzword for 2019 is "resiliency." Thai and longevity are the goals many artists seek in pursuit of a successful career, particularly since success in the field is often dependent upor world order, financial markets and the whims of collectors and agents. Only the most talented and resilient survive. Coachella Valley mixed media artist and sculptor Delos Van Earl fits that bill. He has successfully traversed the economic downturn of 2008 and continues to explore and evolve creatively.
ARTPATRONMAGAZINE COM 53
Van Earl was born in the state of Washington, grew up in Crescent City, California, and went on to earn his B.A. from Chico State University and his M.F.A. from Mills College in Oakland. But living in a logging family amidst the beautiful natural environment of the Northwest, with its ocean waters, rivers and forests, was a key early influence on his sculptures, which employ bronze, steel and wood and which range from pedestal. sized pieces to large outdoor works. His resume lists numerous solo and group exhibitions, and his work is in both corporate and public collections.
Comfortable in his own skin, he is happy to discuss both the business and creative sides of an artist's life.
Van Earl's move from Sacramento to Desert Hot Springs in 1987 turned out to be a pivotal event in his artistic development. His career look off after he received a prestigious purchase award from the Bowers Museum in Santa Ana and was invited to mount a solo show at the Riverside Museum. From fairs to galleries, from collectors to dealers, he was suddenly in demand. His steel sculptures, with their distinctive fractured corners, were selling out, and collectors were looking for more and more pieces. In fact, Van Earl's work was in such high demand that it caused his health to suffer. He knew change was in order-and soon change was going to be necessary for many artists.
The economic crisis of 2008 drove a number of artists to seek new directions in their careers as galleries and collectors stepped back. It seemed as if everything had changed overnight, and while the crash set most on their heels, Van Earl, who considers himself a survivor, chose to pull into rather than out of the artist's life. He instinctively knew it was necessary to make both business and personal adjustments, so he proceeded to modify his business model and explore a new crealive direction. While some have said that for Van Earl it's all about business, he strongly objects. "For me," he says, "it's all about the work. My goal is to be as good as i can be, to create great art. I know I may fail, but for me it is about the journey."

When i met Van Earl for an interview at his Yucca Vally studio and gallery in late 2018, I found a happy, bright and colorful space and couldn't help but notice the changes in the artist's creative direction. His new work consists of large freestanding and wall-mounted sculptures in exciting colors and shapes. There are pieces large and small that he calls "creatures"-frogs, sea horses and rabbits-and colors in his palette-oranges, bright yellows and lime greens-that are starkly different from the deeper reds he has been known for His new work takes Van Earl back to his childhood, back to the days he remembers fondly of Danish modern furniture, low sofas, the Seattle World's Fair of 1962, girls in polka dot dresses and go-go boots, and miniature golf courses and Irampoline parks. Despite the changes in his creative direction, his guiding principle remains the same: an insistence on quality, craftsmanship and integrity.
Van Earl is not afraid of change; in fact, he embraces it. "I want to continue to do work that reflects my time and culture," he insists. His commitment to his art and his life as an artist exemplify his resiliency and longevity. As a beginning artist, he was often singled out as the next great thing, "which is not always the best thing to hear when you're young," he points out, explaining that it's important to have to fight for success if you want to make a living in the field. "For me, it was the wolf at the door that made me work hard to become a successful artist." How does Van Earl see his future? *I hope to continue to work and be healthy. I want the eighty-year old me to be doing new things. I want another run at it because things don't get better than that." I hope you have the opportunity to meet Delos Van Earl at his studio in Yucca Valley.

In the Studio - Delos Van
Earl
HIDE AND SEEK
Story by Steven Biller
Palm Springs Live Magazine
Whether abstract or representational, art can be heroically expressive. It can stand up for something, be a champion. Delos Van Earl's energetic new paintings achieve this by harnessing the pure chance and ultimate triumph of nature.
The paintings in the Viscus series also punctuate a bright new direction for Van Earl, the Palm Springs artist whose distressed, painted bronze and steel works put his career on autopilot for longer than a decade. Those sculptures and wall pieces — each protruding a colorful angularity — bear the aged appearance of a long-past time.
The Viscus paintings, on the other hand, hold the promise of the future — nature's continuum and cycles of life - and signal a mature and emotional response to the angst-infused, shock-and-awe images that permeate our lives and some contemporary "These paintings are just the opposite." ." Van Earl says. "Using nature as the reference point forces you to work at a higher level. Nature is more sophisticated than are humans. Everything's perfect: The veins in a leaf are organized chaos, but also where they need to be. There's a sense of grace."
In Van Earl's large paintings, grace comes at a tremendous physical cost: the process.
He applies up to 20 layers of oil enamel paint on museum-quality wood panels - many as large as 6-foot squares or paired in dynamic diptychs. Within each thick coat, he embeds seeds, dried flowers, twigs, pine needles, grass, bird feathers, and other items from nature. This transmutation of detritus into art — in addition to tape, rope, and foam he buries into the layers - gives way to the physical and aesthetic challenge of unearthing the final picture. This time-consuming and exhausting process (waiting for one coat to dry before applying the next and sanding through the layers) ultimately gives each painting the appearance of a deeply textured surface. However, his finishing process — sanding, waxing, and buffing — makes for wonderful irony: The final pictures, chock full of the stuff of nature, are impossibly smooth to the touch and a gutsy departure from the rough, often chemically corroded edges of his earlier work. "This is an evolution," he says. "This work has a relation to the human condition.
Everything you do in life counts; that's what these paintings are about. Everything matters."
Everything matters, too, in these biomorphic paintings. Van Earl hides items in each painting, only to rediscover them from a different perspective. "It's like creating memories," he says. "They're sometimes hard to remember; but when we find them, we treasure them as they should be."
The transition to these paintings manifested during an emotionally wrenching period during which Van Earl doubled as caretaker and medical champion for his wife, Jena, who was suffering from a debilitating condition. "I don't know if I'd have been able to get here without Jena, " Van Earl says, emphasizing how she continued to push him creatively through this challenging period. "Life has to push you to a level to see a deeper truth — a simplicity, a resentment of the superficial, an attempt to reach some level of purity."
We're born with only our environment and free will and choice, he says, but we process decisions, however impulsive, through various filters. "No single aspect of life is so essentially important. Life is fragmented with different variables." The artist's understanding of these variables leads him to resolutions that reflect calculated risks and sound choices. He leaves us with supercharged images - sometimes tranquil, sometimes violent — that seldom come easily.
Moreover, Van Earl's resolution of discord feels natural. In his first group of single-panel Viscus paintings, the monikers are meaningful to artist and viewer: Wag of a Labrador's Tail is genuinely playful; Fusion of Scarlet Rhythm has a flirtatious quality, a convergence of energy that could be a metaphor for sexual intercourse; and Echoes in the Mind has transfixing powers. As the series progressed, Van Earl often named paintings to refer to natural gestures, such as the chaotic perfection of a bird's nest, a spinning tornado, or hypnotic raindrops.
He has searched his soul and emerged with fresh vision. The result comes in the form of paintings that could be his most powerful yet.

One of Palm Springs' most familiar landmarks is Jungle Red. Credit: Scott Brassart It's big, it's long, and it's hard. If you're in the mood you can sit on it. It's also Palm Springs' most recognizable public sculpture.
Jungle Red - 14 feet high, 15 feet wide, 38 feet long — graces the entrance to Warm Sands, the most vibrant gay neighborhood in Palm Springs. The 2008 installation of the sculpture by Delos Van Earl marked the culmination of three years effort by the Warm Sands Neighborhood Association. "The site suffered from benign neglect for years," says Robert Stone, who spearheaded the campaign, in reference to the formerly ugly median strip at the entrance to the neighborhood. "We thought it would be good for everyone if the site were rehabilitated."
Van Earl admits that he usually avoids doing public art. "It doesn't suit my personality," he says. "It's a lot of paperwork and process, and I don't deal with that very well."
This project was special, though, because he wanted to give back to the Palm Springs community.
"I've been fortunate," he says. "The gay community in particular has been very supportive of my work. So this sculpture is a wonderful way for me to give back, especially where it's situated, right there in Warm Sands." The work is from Van Earl's Luna series, a collection of large-scale sculptures based on the linear form. "I call them subterranean," he says. "A portion of the work is beneath the ground, and is imaginary."
Like all works in the series, Jungle Red appears to be a single, rhythmic line undulating over and around and through itself — a sculpted steel version of modern dance.
One of the great features of Jungle Red is that it is interactive; designed to be viewed from all angles, walked through, and touched.
"That's what I like best about this piece," Van Earl says. "You can stand next to it, you can sit on it. The back tail is actually designed so people can get up on it."
