In this Texas Night Scene Painting, "Elephant Tusk and Backbone Ridge Night," an original oil on panel, I wanted to represent the depth of the night in the desert. I camped at Rice Tank campground, inspired by the desert night, I sketched and painted this scene by day on location until done. So hot in the day, so cold at night, crystalline stars, and rings around the moon.
.
There may be no form of expression that truly captures the beauty of the night at this wonderful place in Big Bend. There are, I hope, many examples of admiration, this is one of mine.

This is my second night scene painting of this place, the first is No. 11
