Day 2, painting #2, Joshua Tree, California inspired by @usinterior. It's still hard to tell what anything is. I used a granulation medium on some of the rocks. Love that stuff! Fun Fact: In the 1800s cattlemen drove their cows into the area for the ample grass available at the time and built water impoundments for them. Miners dug tunnels through the earth looking for gold and made tracks across the desert with their trucks. Homesteaders began filing claims in the 1900s. They built cabins, dug wells, and planted crops. Each group left its mark upon the land and contributed to the rich cultural history of Joshua Tree National Park. #nps100 #centennial @nationalparkservice @joshuatreenps #nationalparks #findyourpark #goparks #rebeccashapiroart #wip #workinprogress #pencil #ipad #funfact #FYPyes #joshuatree
