The Southwest Chief is the Amtrak train which took us from Los Angeles to Chicago on the last leg of our train trip. We were on the train for two days and nights, and sat in the observation car watching the deserts of the southwest and then the lush farmland of the Midwest roll by. Here are two little sketches. First the tree which to many represents Southern California.
Then a view from the train window of the desert in New Mexico.
I am working on a painting of my favorite place in Chicago to post on Monday.
