BIG BEND measures 14" x 10" which includes a 1" white border. It is a tranquil scene of a large, twisted tree clinging to cliffs edge. Beautiful shades of blues and greens with pops of warm golds and yellow to highlight the setting sun as it touches the trees branches.
FORT MARR measures 14' x 14" which includes a 1" white border. A snowy white scene shows a frontiersman and his pack mule approaching Fort Marr in the dead of winter. His dogs trudge along faithfully as it seems there will be no rest for them at the closed up fort. The scene is highlighted by soft blues and browns with just a pale hint of yellow.
