| Far Horizon - acrylic on canvas - 36 x46" |
One of the paintings we placed in good homes last year was this acrylic, probably from the 1980's. It's one of the few purely abstract works to survive Dad's habit of painting over older canvases, which he did partly to save buying new canvas and partly because the already existing colors and shapes gave impetus to his new vision.
Several of Dad's paintings have gone to UNM over the years. Our family is proud to have them permanently displayed in the several buildings that make up the Health Sciences Center. We feel that Dad would have been happy to have them on public view, enjoyed by so many faculty members, students, staff and patients. Lots of credit should go to Chris Fenton, the curator of UNM's program, who does a wonderful job of placing the art where it can best be appreciated.
