This is one of about ten photographs that I will be exhibiting alongside the work of my colleague Walter James at the Lindale Library in a couple of weekends. He had taken a number of photographs in the town of Marfa, Texas over the summer, and I have been spending a lot of time in the town of Marshall, Texas where my family owns a farm. Walter thought it would be a good idea to put up a one day exhibit of images from both towns. The names of the towns have a nice ring together. Marfa is representative the western side of the state while Marshall is typical of East Texas.
I really loved the distorted visage of this poorly repaired Madonna, as well as the intense turquoise of her painted robe. The day was bright and clear and the paint color perfectly complemented the cerulean blue sky behind her
Hi Sally, This sounds like a neat exhibit! I wish I could visit. Will you post some of the highlights for those of us in blogland?
