This powerful 1928 work of the Bow River out of Banff, Alberta, Canada won a 'Special Award of Honor' @ The Springville National Art Exhibit in Santa Barbara in 1929. Sold by B. Browne's dealer M.O'Brien & Son, Chicago, in 1930. Listed in 'George & Belmore Browne' by Ordeman & Schreiber, 2004, Appendix, pg. Diii, 1928 Commissions #4.

This is a larger version of an Eastern Oregon Farm scene at twilight that I sold about six months ago. This one is 18x22 inches (the other one was 14x17) and framed in the original panel frame. This is a tight painting with a very nice surface. The sage brush and dappled back-lighting on the hills is wonderful...a prismatic rainbow of colors is created at the top of each hill by the sun being low on the horizon. Its truly a charming farm scene of the American West in the 20s. The windbreak created by the poplar trees dancing in the wind creates something of a dazzling green stage curtain popping the farmer's home in front and waiting to reveal the next scene behind it. The painting is out of a Bend, Oregon collection, and has never seen the market. This picture, I believe, is similar in location to the Wire on pg. 68 in 'The Pacific Northwest Landscape, A Painted History" by Harmon/Raban.
