- In this Southwestern
Night Scene Painting, "Bandalier II," an original oil
on panel, (Version III) I was inspired by the other worldly feel
of the hand dug cliff dwellings which seem to peer out from hollowed
eyes in search of their creators long since gone. This version
III is a is an attempt to bring this image up to a major scale
and allow the viewer to enter this ancient sanctuary a lot better,
that is to say there is a lot more presence for the image in
the eye of the sojourn to this painting. Go ahead ascend into
the cranium of this old face of man cracked and craged with lifes
escarpments in the lines of the face of the oldest dwellings
in North America . The Puye are obviously the descendants of
this high culture now referred to as the Anasazi. I once crawled
up and into this ancient dwelling and listened to these old dwellings
forever permeated with murmers of the spirit of hope and childrens
high pitched cries of humanity as this place which gave birth
to civilation on this continent. The atom was split less than
a few miles from this location.
