"With a laugh, Laura Lewis says of her art, "I am uncomfortable painting mountains, because they get in the way of the view." The challenge for this High Plains realist is to create strong compositions out of the extreme horizontals that predominate her chosen artistic geography. As the works in this book will attest, Lewis excels in capturing the views discovered in her ramblings across the length and breadth of the region she has dubbed the "Great Plains of Texas." Her paintings are a celebration of the land and the people that capture the distilled essence of a place that has formed her vision and her understanding of what it means to be at home. Opening with a foreword by longtime columnist and Texas observer Joe Holley, At Home on the Great Plains of Texas offers images of paintings that Lewis intends as "a glass of cool water for anyone thirsting for the beauty to be found here." The paintings are interspersed with vignettes by Christina Mulkey, a writer whom Lewis invited to accompany her on many of her "image safaris." Collectors, scholars, and historians have long known about and frequently commented on the centrality of place in Texas art. With the paintings in At Home on the Great Plains of Texas, Laura Lynn Lewis takes her place among the ranks of those who teach us the art of transformative perception; we learn how to "attend," in Mulkey's words.

Seeking to remedy this lack of parity, the artist traveled the winding roads and tree-lined passages of East Texas for well over a year, observing, sketching, and journaling along the way. Exhibiting an unshakeable awareness of place and a poet's sensibility, Lee Jamison's Ode to East Texas stands as an affectionate hymn to a familiar region, an invitation to a new appreciation of its qualities"--
