VERSO
Signed and titled

In discussing this painting the artist writes, “It depicts the figure of a strong Native American in the midst of an upcoming storm. This is a stylized painting where I designed the features of the man to look like he was carved out of rock, to give him a sculptural appearance like the mesas that are in the background of the painting. His hair is blowing in the wind as he stands strong and immovable; no matter what may come, he will withstand the storms of life.

“The mood was set by the incoming storm, so I wanted to use a different color scheme made up of blue, grays, and subtle violets.”

Mighty Wind was featured on the cover of the Killers’ 2020 single “My Own Soul’s Warning.”
