Years ago, a well-known expressionist painter named Jim Stegner shot a man in a bar. The man lived, Jim served his time, and he has learned to live with the dark impulses that sometimes overtake him. Jim enjoys a quiet life in the valleys of Colorado. He works with a lovely model, he doesn't drink, he goes fly fishing in the evenings. His paintings fetch excellent prices at a posh gallery in Santa Fe. He is--if he can admit it--almost happy. One day, driving down a dirt road, Jim sees a man beating a small horse. Jim leaps out of the truck, tackles the man, and bloodies his nose. The man is Dell, a cruel hunting outfitter notorious among locals. Jim cannot shake his rage over the little horse. The next night, under a full moon, telling himself he is just going night fishing, he returns to the creek where Dell has his camp and kills him. As Jim tries to come to terms with what he has done, he must evade the police, navigate his own conscience, and escape the members of Dell's clan set on revenge. And he paints the whole time; trying to make sense of his actions. Traveling from the rough adobe cottages and rivers of Colorado to the bright streets and galleries of Santa Fe, aching with grief and transcendent with beauty, The Painter is a story about art and love and violence, and using the remnants of hardship to create a rich life"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Artists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Abstract expressionism $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Ex-convicts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Life change events $v Fiction. 650 6 $a Artistes $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Expressionnisme abstrait $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a Ex-deÌtenus $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 6 $a EÌveÌnements stressants de la vie $v Romans, nouvelles, etc. 650 7 $a Abstract expressionism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00794746 650 7 $a Artists. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817559 650 7 $a Ex-convicts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00917418 650 7 $a Life change events. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00998231 655 7 $a Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945). $2 bicssc 655 7 $a Crime & mystery. $2 bicssc 655 7 $a Westerns. $2 bicssc 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726481 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a Psychological fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction: general & literary. $2 thema 655 7 $a Crime & mystery fiction. $2 thema 655 7 $a Adventure fiction: Westerns. $2 thema 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20231005082856.0 $n 10 $p +2LP 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3C18C2AC637F11EEA3FB3B18283FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
