THREE PAINTERS THREE VISIONS EARLY VIEW

"Three Creeks Merging" 18' x 36' oil/canvas

Big Bend offers countless painting opportunities
inside and outside the park. The Chisos Mountains are
the featured mountain range and in my photo reference
was a mere strip of purple on the horizon. I chose
to play them up to give them a more important role
in the painting. The creek bed is actually a few miles
west of the park outside Terlingua probably ten or so
miles away from the park. I liked the bleached sandy
creek against the cool blues and purples of the mountains.
And with this painting I am finished preparing artwork
for my show next week. Time to slap some paintings
into frames.
