Too Close to Death to Die

Lew writes: "The painting was inspired by my sudden thought one day, that as a painter, working in the West, with a love of haunted places... how could I have for so long ignored ghost towns?  The painting you see here combines structures and images that came to life as I carefully researched the wealth of material available in Arizona's largest libraries, and on the web. With a stack of sketches before me, my imagination kicked in, and ultimately my brush took command."
