Looking West Across Salt Creek Doug Marx LandscapeDuring the first week of January the sun was still going down early and it was very cold. I painted this pleine aire landscape painting of a sunset from the comfort of my pickup truck. It is titled “Looking West Across Salt Creek”. Salt Creek is part of the saline wetlands area in Lancaster County in Nebraska. The rare and endangered Salt Creek Tiger Beetle makes its’ home further downstream from where this was painted. Salt Creek never really freezes. The Bald Eagles that migrate through the area will follow the creek towards the Platte River where some will nest.
