About the Item

West Texas: Full Moon over the Chisos Mountain, Big Bend National Park by Peter Brown is listed as a 16 x 24 inch archival pigment print, with the paper size being 22 x 26 inches. This photograph is signed and numbered in black ink on print margin by Peter Brown. This size is available in an edition of 25, with more sizes available. This photograph is from Peter Brown's series, Hometown Texas. West Texas: Full Moon over the Chisos Mountain depicts a desert landscape at dusk, with a full moon rising over the mountains. The last light of the setting sun hits the distant mountain range, and wispy clouds pass over the bright moon.
