Item # 405PPG20A
A lovely Barbizon painting of a flock of sheep grazing in the autumn grasses as evening approaches, the pink hues of golden hour only just appearing over the treeline while a warm golden light is cast over the foreground. The work is executed with a vigorous brushwork that moves from a subtle impressionism in the sheep to a bleary bokeh as the depth of field increases, the distant trees becoming almost part of the dense atmosphere mixing together with the darkenining sky. The painting is signed in the lower left corner "CARLETON WIGGINS" in his typical hand while the reverse was titled by his hand on the artist panel.
