This design is of a painting that hangs at the McKinley County Courthouse in Gallup, NM. Parsons moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1913. When he experienced the vivid colors and soft architecture of the Southwest, he never painted figures again. The Santa Fe art colony was not established until 1921, but Parsons became one of the earliest resident artists and was known for his “happy, serene, impressionist landscapes.” Parsons work was well received in Santa Fe. He often showed at the Palace of the Governors with many other local artists of the day. He became the first director of the New Mexico Museum of Fine Art in 1918, where a number of his paintings are a part of the museum’s permanent collection. When Parsons daughter married the artist Victor Higgins in 1919, it is said that the influence of Higgins can be seen in some of Parsons best work from the ’20’s and ’30’s.
