Celebrated for its size, Texas stretches from Gulf Coast beaches to lofty mountains out west, where we find state highpoint, 8749 ft Guadalupe Peak. The story of rainfall that tapers east to west is told in forested regions that follow the same general pattern. Its shape tremendously influenced by the Rio Grande, Red and Sabine Rivers, much of Texas drains NW to SE in iconic rivers like the Pecos and Brazos. Texas Hill Country waters cities along its base, and the Cap Rock Escarpment isolates the flat-topped Llano Estacado from rolling plains to its east. Three out of four Texans live in a triangular megaregion, anchored by Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin, while El Paso holds down the fort way out in the desert of the American Southwest.

This portrait lets you take in the iconic geography of the Lone Star State.

A unique reference that doubles as eye-pleasing art, Portrait of Texas is archival in quality, and fits standard pre-made picture frame sizes.

Special Note: For close-up settings, such as hallways, I recommend small sizes. For rooms where you'll view from a distance, like you would view a painting, I think you'd appreciate a larger size. On larger sizes, type reads from several feet away, and iconic landforms, like Texas Hill Country appear, even when viewed from across the room.
