Langford General Store Ruins by

In-studio watercolor (14″×18″ 300# Waterford Cold Press) of the Langford General Store ruins in Big Bend Texas. Built circa 1927, this former store/post office is literally in the middle of nowhere, but was a stopping point for visitors seeking the healing waters from local hot springs. Springs that still exist today. A non-native palm tree shades the structure and was probably planted there in the 30s judging from old photos. I’ve got to figure that this palm must be living off of some underground spring since it’s not exactly tropical in this part of Texas.

    Makes me want to go out your way and take a look around. IF I can stand in the shade of that Palm! Fantastic job of contrasting light and shadow. Well done.
