Life-long West Texan and award-winning author Elmer Kelton wrote the descriptive text for each of Tom Lovell’s 14 Permian Basin paintings in this book. The paintings themselves represent fourteen fragments of Permian Basin history Lowell chose to paint. The paintings vividly capture the spirit and the sweep of the area’s colorful history.
