Pegasus Refueled
July 2013-January 2018, oil on linen, 37”h x 48“w.
A pair of horses find hay between the abandoned pumps of a closed Mobil gas station as “mares’ tails” clouds wisp above them in the New Hampshire sky. The presence of Mobil Corporation’s Pegasus logo is an ironic reminder of the once ubiquitous use of horses for transportation before their replacement by combustible engine vehicles. Painted en plein air.
