The colors of this piece are nicer in person than the photos show with the background shadows of the barn wall being more purple than blue. Other colors are a neutral mix of tans and golden yellows with some green.

By Philadelphia artist Helen Sophia Barth (1920-2012) signed and dated 1956 on reverse. Ms. Barth was a lifelong painter working primarily in watercolor with an abstract feel, as seen in this work. She received her art training through the Fleisher Art Memorial program of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the oldest community art school in the U.S. Executed on heavy art paper stock and ready to frame if so desired. (please take note: the piece is evenly rectangular, though the perspective of the photographs has slightly distorted its dimensions.)
