Passage of Clooties, 1990

This is another of my "light seen through 
obstruction" paintings, whether the  
difficulty is the amount of light, or some 
barrier.  I was specifically thinking of  
nights spent in the woods in southern  
Missouri, when I would see distant city 
lights through the forest or over the hill. 
Done completely with a palette knife,  
applying and scraping off paint. 
Oil on linen.  36" x 36".  Private collection, 
Seattle, WA
