Next I am going to paint another circle painting from my Spring Break fun @ Big Bend National Park!
Today I made a sketch of my next painting. It is going to be a painting of Ocotillo plants in front of Cerro Castellan Peak at Big Bend National Park. The peak reaches an altitude of 3,293 ft. and stands 1,030 ft. above the road. The peak itself is a volcanic vent and it is capped by a rhyolite dome. So that is your geology lesson of the day. Carry on.
