Lot 26 Dan Jones Fargo, North Dakota Property Line, 2026 Charcoal on paper 6 x 18 inces $1,500 – 1,800 Dan Jones is a painter of place, his own place, the utterly flat landscape of the Red River Valley and the rolling hills that flank the forty-mile-wide and two-hundred-mile-long valley, which isn’t a valley at all but the flood plain of the ancient Lake Agassiz. Meandering through the Valley today is the Red River of the North, slowly making its way from its source at the northeastern tip of South Dakota to the Hudson Bay, some 550 winding miles north. The prairie slough along with its sister marshlands, the wooded rivers and draws, the undulating wetlands, fully occupy the landscape, leaving small space for shrinking towns and expanding cities. This is the land that entices Dan Jones into the open to make preliminary sketches, which back in his studio evolve into finished works of art.
