Provenance: Acquired directly from the artist, 2006 Provenance: Estate of Julia Evans Reed. Ill.: Dunlap, William Ralph. Dunlap. Jackson: University Press of Mississippi, 2006, p. 133. Note: Julia Reed wrote of William Dunlap thats the thing about Dunlap. Hes an extraordinary painter, but hes also a fully engaged citizen of the world. In her article for Garden & Gun in 2010, Reeds remarkable ability to illuminate her subjects shines when describing Dunlap both their friendship and his celebrated career as an artist and fellow ambassador for the South. Dunlap is one of the most renowned artists creating in the South today, and his works explore the culture, literature, people, animals and landscape of the region. In this monumental work entitled The History of Mud from Reeds collection (which includes a number of other paintings by the artist), a rich narrative of the South is revealed through, in Dunlaps own words, a post Katrina apocalyptic view of the Delta landscape with tornadoes and storm clouds hovering over the two buildings that mean the most in that part of the world, the cotton gin, now defunct and a little frame church, probably a Baptist, the sort that dot the landscape everywhere you go in our part of the world. Often numbers or words appear in Dunlaps compositions as if seeping from the ground and sky, and in this case, there could be no more appropriate word to tie together artist and collector than that of their common home state Mississippi.

William Dunlap (American/Mississippi, b. 1944), "Watershed Runoff", 1989, mixed media on paper, signed and dated lower right, titled lower left, 30 1/4 in. x 79 1/4 in., framed. Note: The wide, horizontal format of this work by contemporary Mississippi artist, William Dunlap, is characteristic of his expansive, panoramic landscapes. The scenes are often not representational of any factual location, but rather a place conjured in the artist's mind. In "Watershed Runoff," the vanishing point of the horizon line is framed by sharp, gray rock formations and symmetrical tree lines. A body of water, reflecting the pink sky and void of figures or animals, underscores the sense of isolation that can come with being alone in nature, both compelling and deflecting the viewer.
