Description
The painting titled “That Western” is a richly textured work that evokes the vast and wild spirit of the western landscape. The canvas is alive with the fiery reds and deep oranges that one might associate with the dramatic sunsets of the open range. These warm colors bleed into areas of vibrant yellow, suggesting the blazing sun or the golden grasses of the prairie.
In contrast, there are also deep blues and purples that weave through the composition, reminiscent of the expansive and brooding skies, and perhaps the rugged mountain ranges that are a hallmark of the western terrain. The interplay of these colors creates a dynamic sense of movement, as if the very forces of nature are at play on the canvas.
The technique used in this piece, similar to the others in the series, leaves a textured surface that calls to mind the rough and untamed qualities of the wilderness. The layered application of paint gives the impression of the layered strata of the earth, and the complex interplay of light and shadow one finds in natural settings.
“That Western” invites viewers to contemplate the untamed beauty of the western landscape, the dance of light across wide-open spaces, and the solitude and silence such places can hold. It’s a painting that not only captures the eye with its bold colors and textures but also stirs the soul with its evocation of the wild and untamed spirit of the West.
