 Mary
Baxter came to Marfa years ago for the horses and cattle business
and stayed to paint the sky-haunted landscapes. Recently returned
to Marfa after a decade in (relatively nearby) Marathon, Texas,
Mary Baxter talked to C.M. Mayo in her sun-filled studio in October
2012.

"What
is this human urge that you want to record what you see? It must
go back to prehistoric times when people painted on the cave
walls the animals that they saw. So I can't explain why we do
it. You know, nothing is as good as being there and seeing it,
just being in the landscape. But there's this urge to say, 'I'd
like to try to translate this. These colors, or these shapes,
or these animals, and this moment, and at this place."
