“View Behind the Mission”, an oil painting Gibbons did of Tumacacori National Park located near Nogales, Arizona was chosen as one of the top 100 paintings in the open national artists competition to help fund the Paint America mission. A portion of proceeds from “Paint the Parks” will be contributed to the National Park Foundation and the Paint America Scholarship Fund. Paintings entered must depict one of our nation’s 390 national park areas.
