In this painting, the white caliche of a West Texas ranch stands out beautifully under the moonlight, casting a cool, silver glow across the scene. The full moon isn’t just a source of light; it also creates shadows, like those under the eaves of the old shack. Although the shack isn’t inhabited anymore, I chose to add a warm, inviting light inside, offering a beacon to any weary traveler who might pass by. This touch adds a bit of warmth to the otherwise cool and solitary West Texas landscape
