Description
Canadian. 1930s. Framed behind glass. Watson enjoyed capturing atmospheric situations and the drama created here, with the partially-blocked sun, pending storm and light reflection on the river is very effective. Bends in the river, along with the Grand River were favoured by Watson and another work, with a very similar situation is titled 'River Flats at Kaufmans' - no doubt a close-to-home situation of the artist. Signed and initialled "HOMER WATSON HW" lower left edge. Sight 13 x 17".. Collection of the late Jack Wilfong: Homer Watson's paper boy. CODE-PFA
