Desert Moon Over Big Bend measures 18 by 24 inches and is executed in gouache on black heavyweight vellum texture multimedia paper as part of the Texas Landscapes Series 2025. The painting captures a desert scene defined by an expansive, shifting sky filled with swirling clouds in vibrant hues of purple, blue, and yellow. A luminous desert full moon occupies the upper left, casting a soft light across the landscape below. The terrain is composed of layered hills and rugged rock formations rendered in warm earth tones, including orange, red, green, and brown. Vertical elements such as tall cacti and bare trees punctuate the horizontal movement of the hills and sky, adding structural balance to the composition. Expressive brushwork enhances the surface texture, conveying the raw, dynamic energy of a desert environment under dramatic atmospheric conditions. The artwork draws on the geographical and cultural distinctiveness of Big Bend National Park and its border region, reflecting the complex histories and natural features that define this unique landscape.
