Artist, American, born 1923

This is a painting of a rural scene with two figures and a house. The artwork depicts a landscape with two figures in the foreground, a house, and leafless trees in the background. The figures are dressed in blue and white clothing with hats, and the landscape is rendered in earth tones, with a blue sky. Strong lines and stylized forms suggest a traditional, possibly folk art style, with a focus on simplicity and bold colors.
