Friday night we ventured out to Canyon Road in Santa Fe to see some art. We must have gone to about fifteen art openings. There was a good variety of high quality accessable art, especially paintings. One painter that stood out was Sam Scott, showing at the Wiford Gallery. These paintings are full of suprises. Sam was born in Chicago but he moved out to New Mexico to pursue his interests. His paintings fit the scene out here, like many painters but he also pushes the pictures beyond what you would expect. They have a Van Gogh like quality mixed with elements of surrealism. Sam Scott is one you might call a painter's painter.
