One last look out west, at some landscapes

Rafe Terry really reminds me of my coyote from college. Totally Arizona colors, only he kinda has a Art Nouveau thing going with his shapes.

Louisa McElwain uses think impasto- she practically carves a painting with a pallette knife. No computer jpeg could do her justice.

I don't know how Western Mark Could is exactly, I think his works are more evokative of my beloved adopted region, the Midwest- with his barns and farm houses. Beautiful, dramatic/romantic stuff without getting as cheesey as Thomas Kinkade.
