Artists Describing Their Art:
Clinton Lown - " Should you ask me, whence these stories? Whence these legends and traditions, With the odors of the forest, With the dew and damp of meadows, With the curling smoke of wigwams, With the rushing of great rivers, With their frequent repetitions, And their wild reverberations, As of thunder in the mountains? I should answer, I should tell you," Damn the Damp and where the hells Dave Cramp? Last time I saw him was when we was pulled over on Bathhurt by the Bronze dogs....
Rene Trujillo - Un Creyo (Spiritus MercuriU.S.) I'm giving back to the Universe what the Uni-VERSE gave to me. Participacion Mystique I'm letting go of what is. Being. Of what is to become. L' Avenir. Letting go of what I AM up to now which in turning echoes what is. (H)echo. Letting go, for there is no need to take. Everything has been given to you. Every-thing and no-thing is in front of you. Gnosis. Therefore, let go of what you possess. Deseo. For when one lets go, one receives. What does one gain by worrying of the day. Oh anxious eye! One must learn to breathe again. The first breath was born from a serene one. (Circular Time) The second from an earnest one. (Linear Time) Unos Mundos. Death to all anxious objects! I'm in the world now. I'm out of the wor(l)d now. "The Uroboros" Between and including Consciousness and Unconsciousness there is becoming. There is connectedness. Mysterium Coniunctionis.

Michael Rusch - It is interesting how the term Western Art is defined. For many it means cowboys and horses. While others think of the romantic exagerations by Remington. Still others will seriously consider Western Art, only if it represents the Southwest region. Well having been born in the American West.Living on a Farm/Ranch. Mining for coal and moly at one time. Living the city lifestyle as well, I see the the term Western Art as so much more. The color of the West encompasses its land, people and their attitudes .
