Description
One of many abandoned farmhouses seen in Eastern California....the result of drought, recession, or who knows. It makes one think about the lives lost and families uprooted by the tragedy of such loss. And the coping mechanisms that would make folks move from their land without their belongings to escape poverty. I wanted to use tones that evoked loss and utter desolation. Land taken over by the desert in the absence of a human presence and of course water. This is a large image and I hope that the viewer delves deeper into the work to see the detail.

There is a pain of nostalgia in this artwork that soaks one in intensely..
Jeff Burgess replied:
That is the emotion I thought would be produced and glad to see you got it. Thanks much.
