I did the original study for this en plein air on a clear morning in the spring of 2016, from this very spot. Santa Elena Canyon is a breathtaking sight, with 1500 ft. canyon walls, Mexico on the left, and the U.S. on the right, and the Rio Grande running through it. This is also the spot where the Terlingua Creek converges with the Rio Grande.
