NOTES
Created 1935

Checked Object File

Handwritten note by Everett Spruce:  "This painting represents a real place I saw in the Big Bend National Park in West Texas. I came upon this subject during my first trip to West Texas in the summer of 1935. I was much impressed by the monumental shapes in the landscape. I liked the elegant gestures of the limbs of the tree in the foreground. I made a fairly detailed drawing of the subject on the spot and finished the painting about three [word missing] later at my home studio."
