Walter Williams

Harvesting

Describe-
From the view point of outside of the field, the painting shows a field being harvested.

Analyze-
>A muted yellow-green dominates the image
>The vertical lines of the tree breakup the horizontal lines of the field and skyline
>The direction of the small brush strokes create movement
>The placement and darkness of the tree draws your eye towards it making the painting appear off balance

Interpret-
I think Williams wanted to show the beauty of nature because a lot of his other paintings also have the theme of nature

19th Century
