Painting completed in: 1950

I have always wanted to drive the River Road alpng the Rio Grande up river from Big Bend National Park and was granted my wish by David Tinsley who flew me out to Lajitas to photograph the Old Mission Ruins at Ruidosa, Texas. Except for a few changes I made, this scene is just up the river from Lajitas, Texas!
