Painted in 1940, when Texas was being remade by oil wealth, roadside commerce, and Depression-era dislocation. American artist Jerry Bywaters, then in his mid-thirties, had already become a central figure in Texas regionalism. Rather than romanticizing the state, he shows its contradictions: opportunity beside exploitation, faith beside commerce, plus heat and smoke beside cosmetics and poise. The sitters’ identities are not known, but their anonymous presence becomes part of the painting’s power. They stand for the human cost and human nerve required to move through a world where modern industry promises escape even as it scorches the land around them. Two women stand at the edge of a West Texas road with a tense, almost theatrical presence. One wears a fitted black dress, black heels, a necklace, and a feathered black hat over blond hair. Her posture is upright and self-possessed, as she looks into the distance. Beside her, a second woman wears a white blouse, yellow skirt, red belt, and tall western boots as she holds a white hat. A suitcase and round hatbox rest near their feet. Their cheeks and lips are brightly painted, their legs elongated, and their clothing sharply outlined. Behind them stretch signs, poles, a garage, scattered tires, roadside advertisements, and oil fires that stain the sky with smoke. The women are often read as sex workers waiting for a ride into the oil fields, yet the picture resists easy judgment. Bywaters called the image a “sympathetic caricature,” and their stylization does not flatten them into mockery, but heightens their force, danger, glamour, fatigue, and will. The road curves forward past Joe’s Garage, a Jax beer sign, “Hattie’s Hut,” and the unsettling contrast between a “666” sign and nearly hidden “Jesus Saves” tag to set up a visual argument about boomtown desire, moral anxiety, and survival in a landscape transformed by the oil industry. The women are not passive victims. They appear monumental, alert, and determined.

“Between the Thicket” my latest Micron Ink Pen Art I did for a local Juried Show. I love the structure with micron pens and the chaos. Never realized how much fun they are to make.

One of the many things I despise about #Etsy aside from how they rip off sellers is it is SO hard to find local original art. Everything is made w/ a computer in Europe. I search TX art/artists every possible way & generic mass produced garbage comes up BOO #texasart #texasartists pls DM me artists!
