9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was driving across the landscape

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and there was this endlessness in Texas

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
theres almost nothing

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it is desert

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and it is just a little bit

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of scrubby vegetation here and there

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and suddenly in the middle

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
of all this emptyness

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
where these pink mountains

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
around the edge of it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
every direction there were is hills

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
drown in this emptyness

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there will get these tiny little structures

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
was made out of pine

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
with corrugated roofs on it

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
because in the desert

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
shade is the loss priceless

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
thing you can get

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
shade and water

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
took me out of there

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
there were no ground

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to stay a racetrack

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and so these corrugated roofs

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were shelters for the horses

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
There were a judges tower

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and than there were two

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
spectator shelters

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
I was fascinated by

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
these lovely areal structures

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
which lift so lightely on this earth

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
and i ended up making five drawings

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that really interested me

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
one of them i've never painted

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
but i made four large paintings

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
that went together

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
they're all at the same height
