Jim Woodson's paintings are available at Valley House Gallery, Dallas,Texas
Jim Woodson’s 2001 painting, “Lost Mine Trail with Dim Tracers,” is now in the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth’s permanent collection. The 7-foot by 9-foot oil on canvas depicts one of Woodson’s favorite hiking trails in Big Bend. The painting professor heads to the desert Southwest each summer, camera in hand, to capture images of awe-inspiring terrain, which then become the subject of many of his paintings. “It really was one of my favorites,” Woodson ‘64 said of the painting. “I’m glad they chose it.”
