The topography in New Mexico is such that in some places the rise of the land allows you to see a 100 miles or more so when storms travel through you can see the thunderclouds that are very far away. So you can see rain falling far away, bright sunshine on the tops of cumulonimbus clouds as well as the very dark undersides, the color of the sky, the lowering of the dark clouds overhead, and lightning strikes in the far distance.

I love faces that tell a story of the life and character of the subject.

Clarence Seward Darrow (April 18, 1857 - March 13, 1938) was an American lawyer and leading member of the American Civil Liberties Union. His opposition to the death penalty and his work against racial inequality furthered the cause of human rights early in the twentieth century. He is best known for defending teen-aged "thrill killers" Leopold and Loeb in their trial for murdering 14 year old Bobby Franks (1924) and for defending John T. Scopes in the so-called "Monkey" Trial (1925) where a dramatic confrontation took place in court between Darrow and fundamentalist Christian William Jennings Bryan.

Darrow remains notable for his oratory utilizing the wit, compassion, and agnosticism that marked him as one of the most famous American lawyers and civil libertarians of the twentieth century.

I want to make a very large one of 3 ft x 3 ft or larger some day.

It’s only two colors, black and white, which symbolizes, among other things, his mixed race parentage. I wanted to do something that represented a racially united country. Little did I know!

while sitting on the precipitous edge of your seat you know you’ve just seen a real debate!

Whew! I love them all of them!
