Regarding the show Southern Cotton Oil Company* Working Blues:

I grew up in rural New England, and for many generations my people were farmers. Painting in locations of toil and labor seems the natural thing to do.

I've painted the steel mills of Gary Indiana, the Union Pacific train yard in Cheyenne, Wyoming, the abandoned stockyards of Chicago, Illinois, the iron ore pits in the Mesabi Range of Hibbing, Minnesota, the fruit groves of the Indian River in Florida, and the great bridges spanning the Hudson River in New York City. So painting the abandoned Cotton Gin in Natchitoches was particularly meaningful to me.

While in Natchitoches, things hung in the air: the ghost of King Cotton, the voice of Elmore James, the shadow of the boll weevil and the echo of the Texas & Pacific Railroad.

I hope these paintings reflect time passing, human labor, the Blues and decay. As the Southland's chain of events drift pass, I recall Watchman Nee's words: "...(we must) hold on to the plow while wiping our tears."
