What, you might ask, is a hithering spill? According to Douglas Atwill, it is a term that was used in the late 1800s and early 1900s to describe works of art where the foreground feels as though it could spill forth from the canvas onto the viewer’s feet. This visual principal has been at the core of Atwill’s artistic vision for over fifty years, empowering him to create works with a depth that invites the viewer to step into the frame. Although Atwill usually prefers to give his shows pragmatic names like Recent Works, he felt that Hithering Spill was an appropriate title for a show designed to emphasize the depth of his career.
Douglas Atwill has been a fixture in the Santa Fe art scene since the late 1970s. He paints in acrylics, usually on the primed linen canvas he prefers. His subjects range from the New Mexico landscape of mesas, escarpments and mountain scenes to verdant corners of his own garden. Atwill’s work is widely held in numerous personal collections, and is also displayed on corporate and museum walls across the country. A prolific and disciplined artist, Douglas often completes fifty or more paintings each year.
Atwill is also well known in Santa Fe for his work as a designer and builder. He is the author of over a dozen books, including novels, short stories, memoirs and poetry.
