Description

I spent a day recently looking through all of my photos and ran across one that inspired this painting. I remember this day like it was yesterday. A road trip in 2016 with my sisters and my mom to Big Bend National Park.

Driving up to the Chisos basin in Big Bend National Park is a great way to experience the transition between the arid desert and the cooler elevation reaching over 2,000 feet above the desert floor. Not only is there a difference in temperature the fauna and flora will include juniper trees, pinyon pines and other species that flourish in the higher altitude. The scenic journey is 7 miles of winding road, constructed by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930's, with a series of breathtaking vistas and ocassional bear and mountain lion sightings.

In the basin there is a campground, a visitors center, a lodge, a restaurant, access to trails and a view of the most iconic landmark in the park, The Window.

This painting is part of a series of miniatures (8" x 8 ").
