Inspiration, that vital ingredient for any artist, can be triggered by the unexpected and drive a painting later. That is what happened with this piece of modern abstract art. I called it - "edge of town" - it was inspred by the expectation of my journey to Taos NM on leaving Payson AZ to attend an art workshop.
I left Payson early at around four a.m. and arrived in Taos two days later. That experience, leaving the empty clean town, the expectation of the desert ahead has had a lasting impression on me and has resulted in me painting several pieces of modern abstract art like this one.
The painting was created in Taos, it is watercolour and has a geometric form. It does not represent any structures in Payson it is an original abstract painting and captures the feeling at the time.
