Oasis was created in 1935 during a Nevada trip to explore several of the old mining towns, including Virginia City, Silver City and Gold Hill on the famous Comstock Lode. “Dixon painted Oasis in the low desert at Beatty, Nevada, the eastern entrance to Death Valley,” A.P. Hays says of the work. “Such isolated regions seemed to draw the best from his talent.”
