Another painting I remember moving about the house. A 1974 barn, this one inspired by or a master copy of a Currier and Ives painting. It is a unique piece for my mom in it has a person in it and a lovely cow. It is a very pleasing, serene piece with nice accents and interest to it.
Copy of Currier and Ives "Country Morning" 1974 oil on canvas
I did a search for "Country Morning" and this is the painting that popped up. Not sure if there is another painting mom copied or if she was inspired by this one and interpreted her own. Her painting is definitely not a "Copy of" this one. But none the less I always felt the Currier & Ives influence on the painting.
Detail
Rare sighting of a person in one of mom's paintings ( and a horse )
great cow and even some cool chickens
details of tree branches
Chris noticed the tree : " I like this tree by the red building. Is it really windy out, or just the weight of the snow on it, that is making it bend so much?" Jim : "I know it is a weird detail. Not sure what the heck is going on there. ( one of the many many questions I would love to ask mom about as I delve deeper into these paintings.)"
wonderfully dated and titled
