Delos Van Earl Sculpture welcomes visitors!

  • Delos Van Earl - Jungle Red

Swooping in and out of the ground, "Jungle Red" is a serpentine-esque sculpture that now welcomes the public to the Warm Sands neighborhood in Palm Springs. It's named for the "Jungle Red" nail polish color made famous in the 1939 Joan Crawford film "The Women". Van Earl said he hopes the sculpture, which looks like a snake curling in and out of the gravel, will be something tourists will stop to take a picture with on the way to their Warm Sands hotels. "It will be a landmark piece," he said as his assistant David Hale applied brick red primer paint. Last summer, the City Council approved the sculpture. It's location in the center of a round-a-bout on Ramon Road and Warm Sands Drive means "Jungle Red" will have high visibility.
