This scene is painted from a vantage point on top of Quannah Parker Dam on the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge. It was late afternoon, and the sun cast warm light over the hills, causing interesting shadows. This one was very difficult to paint; the colors were a real challenge. I'm not sure I am finished with it. I may have to go back and work on it some more after I look at it awhile. On a recent trip to the Refuge, my girfriend and I took many great photos of deer, elk, and the landscape. I have so many good photos to work from I don't know where to start! I love to paint the Wichita Mountains! We have spent so many happy hours there, camping and hiking!
