"Remote Viewing"

Above is the poster designed for my show by the folks at Eastern New Mexico University.

This weekend I intended to deliver 22 paintings to Eastern New Mexico University's Runnels Gallery in Portales, NM. The show title is "Remote Viewing", a reference to the fact that I don't usually paint my subjects on site, although they are usually very much about the place they're based on. It's also a reference to looking back with a different perspective on experiences I've had growing up, from what is now very much a remote place.

I used reference and memory to recreate those scenes I've actually witnessed or to reinterpret others. In any case, the weather here in North Texas put the kibosh on that plan, and I had to ship them instead.

Below are links to images of the paintings I sent. I'm scheduled to give a talk at the ending of the show on January 31st. We'll hope for the best on that date, weather-wise.
