Description
Canadian. 1930s. Framed behind glass. This painting contains many key Watson trademarks and drama. The sky giving a premonition of inclement weather, the wind-swept oak tree with cattle fording, no doubt a bend in the Grand River in the direction of home to safety is a most dramatic scene. As always, Watson showed his mastery in use of light effects to bring the viewer vicariously to the reality of his portrayal. Signed, "HOMER WATSON HW" lower left edge. Sight 13 x 17".. Collection of the late Jack Wilfong: Homer Watson's paper boy. CODE-PFA
