Piece description from the artist
This is one of a series of paintings of the Badlands of South Dakota. The wind is constantly blowing, and the temperature swings can sometimes be 50 degrees in manner of hours. I noticed how many of the trees that has finally succumb to the elements, would dot the landscape like fallen soldiers on a battlefield.
