George A. Bradshaw

Associated Names

George A. Bradshaw

Artist, American, 1880 - 1968

The image shows a figure paddling a canoe in a body of water. The horizon is low and emphasizes the vastness of the water and sky. A tree line is visible on the horizon, and a bird is flying in the sky. The brushstrokes create a textured appearance in the water and sky. The color palette consists of earthy tones like browns and creams. The canoe and its occupant are detailed, while the sky's streaks indicate the time of day.
