“Blue DusT”

Mexico

Original oil painting by Em Croteau 30 x 40 x 1.5” 6000.

In my travels through Latin America it was not uncommon to see men on horseback among the lines of cars, or to be stopped in traffic by herds of cattle crossing our path.

Every time this happened it felt like the past and present were intertwining. Our world is so motorized, so digital— which makes small moments like this feel all the more raw and bittersweet.

That bittersweetness was my inspiration for this painting, but I hope you all can find your own meaning.
