Texas sagebrush is, indeed, purple when it flowers. and with its 5 to 6 foot Texas height, it beckons you to come closer-- close enough to smell the aromatic vegetation mingling with fragrance from those sweet flowers. Add the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend in the background, and you have a Texas-sized experience in this small colorful painting.

Archival matte varnish protects this watercolor on archival Aquabord, making preserving it under glass unnecessary.
