Norma Weston (of Ballarat) Painting
Original painting from the famous Norma Weston of the ghost town of Ballarat, California. It is painted on a thin slice of local onyx, and depicts the 20-Mule team crossing Death Valley. The piece measures about 8.5" x 5" and is 1/4" thick. Norma Weston and her husband Jim moved to Ballarat in 1970, and unfortunately had to leave the area in 2002.
