River Border, L. Daniel, 9 x 12 - SOLD
So... the Big Bend National Park is located where the Texas/Mexico border makes a BIG bend in its overall shape (hence the name). The Rio Grande River runs along the border separating the two countries, and since the river is a bit low right now one could easily walk across to the other side. So much for border patrol. I did paint this scene on the Texas side (but will you ever really know?) :)
A personal side note: So many of you have sent me notes congratulating the end of my breast cancer treatments and wonderful wishes for a healthy future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Your prayers throughout and words of encouragement mean everything. Deep, deep thanks and much love to all.
Beautiful painting Laurel!
ReplyDeleteLove this post! :) No 8 foot high wall on our side with barbed wire across the top?
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful, magical painting... makes you understand the majesty of the geography.
And you have a sisterhood of solidarity out here, across the country, girl... we love you and want you well!
Ditto Kelly's post. We really enjoy seeing you well and we are rewarded with beautiful painting every few days on our computer screens. Like the one today. A beautiful painting.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! So glad you are out having fun and creating gorgeous works. Enjoy, enjoy! So glad you are doing well and feeling well!! Ditto Kelly. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the sense of atmosphere you captured in your painting - nice reflections, the values seem right, great painting!
ReplyDeleteAlso congratulations on the end of your cancer treatment. My dad went through that when I was younger - still alive and kicking 30 yrs later! Best wishes...
