The Backside of Badlands
The Chief of Interpretation drove me out here, past the normal tourist stops, the hoodoos and spires, eroded box canyons and on into the short-grass prairie. We parked at a pullout and walked a bit, and came to this magnificent vista. The White River meandered below, hoodoos rose in the distance. He explained that this was one of the few places that actually looked like historic short-grass prairie, the millions of acreas of the West before it went under the plow. The only difference would be that there were animals missing, like the black-footed ferret, the wolf, the prairie bighorn, and millions of bison. I was to add some of those in the painting.
Which I did, and the painting hangs today in the Park's Visitor Center near Interior South Dakota.
