The Hanging of Goodman
Just wanted to say that G lib and I checked out the show the Sunday before last (i.e., a week early, mistakenly). We were pleased to see some old faovrites there--the sasquatch painting especially--and interested to see the prevalence of dead locust and willow trees in the left-hand corners of many canvases. (At least, that's what they looked like.)
HOWEVER, I do have to say that the lighting was sub-optimal. In one or two cases, the lights illuminated the wall above the canvas but not the canvas itself. Even when light hit the canvas, it came at such a high angle as to cause the most heavily impastoed points to cast shadows on the canvas below them. It gave a great sense of topography, but obscured some details of color.

(Yes, I know the sasquatch painting isn't really about sasquatch, and the narcissistic california dude sunning himself in the center of the painting isn't really anywhere but in my head. But I can't help it. That's what I see.)
