Artist, American, born 1908

The image depicts a rural scene with a perspective from below showing trees, buildings, a silo, barns, and sheds against a turquoise sky. The trees have gnarled branches, the buildings have angular roofs, and there is a rusted tractor. The brushstrokes are bold and the color palette includes earthy tones, reds, and greens. A white cloud is also visible.
