Eastern Oregon Farm

Eastern Oregon Farm

Type:Painting
Year:1920s
Size:18.00" x 22.00"
Medium:Oil
Signed:Lower Left
Notes:

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.
