Oil on Canvas

40 by 30 inches

An effort to capture the immense space of the New Mexico landscape in a vertical format instead

of the usual horizontal, I found there is something quiet and compelling between the elements in

this painting. I am reminded of something Richard Diebenkorn said to the effect of- missing the

sea of his native California, during his years in New Mexico he realized our sky becomes the

vast sea.
