Greetings from Hudspeth County, Texas

I have been working through my images captured five years ago on my circumnavigation of the contiguous US. Some I've been uploading to Saatchi Art, others I'm keeping private for my Patreon subscribers.

What became very apparent with the latest batch is how totally inspired I get on a forty mile stretch of I-10 in western Texas.

Here is one in the original 53 Edge images (and it was the only "out the side window" view that rendered well in the 2014 version of Waterlogue:

This image, (which I'm only posting here):

Is compositionally very similar to this chalk pastel from 1994:

In 2014, I drove through at the perfect time, with the sun stating to set and the shadows growing long.

I was especially giddy when I drove this stretch of highway, the route from Kingman, AZ to Las Vegas. I had been consuming Little Nellie's salsa (see L) for 24 hours and was on a definite chile high.

The image itself has been through several permutations.

As well as in gouache and a digital reproduction of the gouache -- I can't seem to locate either. When I do, I will add them. So disorganized.

Both the digital painting and the pastel are in my current exhibit up at TAG Gallery.
Tomorrow is the opening reception, 5-8pm. Stop on by, if you are in Santa Monica.
