View From Panther Junction

"View From Panther Junction"

8"x10", Oil on panel

I painted this from a photograph taken at Panther Junction in Big Bend National Park. 

The actual photo was rather mundane, taken mid day the light was not very interesting and the entire image was rather gray. I took much liberty with the painting process, working quickly I splashed in some light and shadows and accentuated the desert color.
