This Texas Night Scene Painting, "Glenn
Spring," an original oil on panel, was painted on location
at night under lights in the middle of the desert where water
springs up from the desert floor in a draw below. A little creek
then runs an eighth of a mile and disappears back into the floor
of the draw. There are frogs adapted to this little micro world
that live nowhere else. There was once a village here that was
massacred. It was just too scary to camp in the lower site, but
as I was leaving I discovered this view at night form the top
of the wash above the spring. I painted the stars and moon as
they were. I painted all night under the drone of generated lights. |
