My Travel Paintings - Big Bend National Park The Window Sunset
Sunset in the Chisos Mountains. What an amazing view to take in! This was right around sunset on my first evening back in Big Bend National Park. While the sun was further to the south then a view of it setting between the peaks of The Window, it was still a view to take in! This was taken on the porch area of the main lodge area where many gather in the late afternoons and evenings.
When I started painting this image, I first liked the idea of the just after sunset view with the dimming lights and colors across the Big Bend National Park landscape. This was the image I first worked with and uploaded here on Flickr (www.flickr.com/photos/14723335@N05/32599670275/in/album-7...). But then I realized that I wanted something brighter with more vibrant colors to highlight the Chisos Mountains all around and the view beyond The Window. I found this image that I'd uploaded on Flickr here to add details and colors to digitally paint (www.flickr.com/photos/14723335@N05/41853325812/in/album-7...). It was then a matter of blending the two images as I digitally painted this.
In the center foreground of the painting, you'll find that stick figure image of me "hiking" with my Cubbies hat, loving my time exploring Big Bend National Park once again :-)
