This scene is looking south in Badlands National Park in SD. I was there with my brother, who is an incredible astrophotographer and was taking advantage of the dark nighttime skies in that area. The heat was almost unbearable. But I felt like it was captured in this sketch, which is why I love plein air painting. You don't just capture how things look, but if done right, you capture how they feel.
