“Lompoc” by John Baughman blends expressive mark-making and tonal layering to evoke a windswept California horizon. Earthy reds and oranges anchor the piece, while radiant ochres and yellows sweep upward in gestural arcs. Painted in 2005, this original work on paper is a strong example of Baughman’s mature style—balancing movement, atmosphere, and a quiet emotional pull. “Lompoc” by John Baughman Oil and mixed media on paper, 22 x 30 in. | 2005
