Prairie Schooning, In Big Sky Country
April 21st, 2006
Scott bitched me out on the phone this morning. He said I’ve got to blog about my painting, “Prairie Schooning, In Big Sky Country,” which I had told him is about materialism. I just woke up so I’m like, “Materialism? Huh?”
Scott’s like, “What? Do you just make this stuff up?”
I was like, “Uh, yeah, I made it up.”
And now, in the name of Farrington Smith Gallery, I must perpetuate this charade. Prairie Schooning, In Big Sky Country is all about materialism…IN PART!!! (Scott never lets me finish.)
Prairie Schooning, In Big Sky Country- land of neutrality. A place of possibility. It’s a planned trip: provisions have been stowed, resources have been stockpiled and are being towed behind in a Conestoga wagon. There’s no room for the guy; he’s displaced himself onto his horse.
Is his baggage a resource or a burden? Maybe he should cut and run, but I think he should stay the course.

What other works does he have in this bright, fun, folksy style?…flowers are my favorite
