SHOULD ARTISTS DATE THEIR WORK?
Did you know that Charles Bent who was a mountain man from Charleston, WV, was the first governor
of the New Mexico Territory? For many years I
was displaying my Southwest art in the Governor
Bent Gallery in Taos, New Mexico. This is one
of my recent paintings, Ship Rock, New Mexico.
The Navajo don’t believe in fences. I was
driving up the 491 and came across this magnificent
Shepherd guarding his sheep.
True Story. Mixed media. Painted in September 2018.
This painting was done from memory only. One reason not to date paintings. Adds to the
mystery of who you are as an artist.
Is it the present or ten years old? Lorraine Strieby, International Artist, author, illustrator
