McGowan will be showing one of his newest works, Chamisa and Moonset in Los Alamos Canyon. “For someone who took a 40-year hiatus between paintings, being included in this show, and the 15th Annual Plein Air Painters of New Mexico Juried National Show in the same year, is aspirational,” the artist says, adding that one of the reasons he paints is to bring attention to the environment.
