Ruby Range (Watercolor, 1879)
In 1879 Thomas Moran accepted an offer from the Union Pacific Railroad whereby he traveled and painted landscapes of the scenery along the UP line. This watercolor of the Ruby Range in Nevada is one example.   If you ever drive through Nevada in late summer, take a glance at the mountain ranges as they pass by the window, and my guess is that you'll see something of Moran's painting in nearly every one.
