Summer Afternoon, Study of a Farm Field
2024 | Oil on archival paper mounted on panel | 5×7 inches
This is the view from the graveyard I used to run to when I was a teenager. The graveyard was exactly one mile from mile house, and on my two mile route, I would stop there in the middle to sit against a gravestone and look out at this field. It’s not a dramatic vista, but it has the simple, small-scale poignance that I associate with a lot of the landscapes of my childhood. A bouquet of roses can be overwhelming and impressive, but sometimes a single rose says more— similarly, a dramatic mountain vista can be awe-inspiring, but I think it’s important not to lose sight of the fact that the tree at the end of your road can sometimes have more aesthetic and emotional significance even than the most dramatic vista you have ever seen.
This painting is sold in a solid wood frame, as pictured.
