Description
Many Miles Away in the distance of this far ranging landscape are a chain of high mountains. But more than that this is someplace perhaps many miles away somewhere as amongst out in the country fields by the limits of habitation and next to a far off vista of wild lands too. A small cracker box like house is in middle ground with a country road going to meet it about the mid horizon. In the foreground by a reflecting pool of strangely strong clarity is a bend on a road with a way marker of some prodigious amount of featured milepost numbers evocative of an Old World scene. The question of "Where are we?" is to be countered with another of "How far is this?" as well as "How did we get here?" Sure to make one wonder too? Previously painted many years ago by this artist as a young man it is here shown in its first wide audience showing for online now.

It was originally painted when 24 years old. I recently sold a copy of 11" x 17" card stock image of Many Miles Away to an old friend! I told him it got its title from a lyric by Sting (the Police group singer of pop fame) about the same. It is about as close as I might get to doing pop icons as designs for county fair amateur art shows as for now too. Too bad for those who need as much! At least I have addressed the whole pop and fame followings as so with a one very obscure but highly imaginative treatment of something you might find as on a Billboard songs album for mass production? It is there and back again for now Sting! But no bag to find as much for a Mr. Baggins? Any thing less by my imagination would not do much justice as so? SO ENJOY IT!
