2015

About the Item

"Drought" Low-Horizon Midwest Landscape in Oil on Canvas Dramatic landscape by Pete James Johnson (American, 20th Century). A wildfire is blowing in from across a valley, casting a grey shadow on the orange and yellow earth. The sun is partially obscured by the smoke. In the foreground, there is a simple fence and a few small shrubs. Just across the grassland, there is a barn with a silo. The artist has stated that he passed by a wildfire in Utah and was worried that the farm would be destroyed by the fire, so he thought it was important to paint the scene. Initialed and dated "PJJ 15" in the lower left corner. Signed and titled "Pete James Johnson Drought" on verso. No frame, but the edges have been painted for a frame-less display. Canvas size: 24"H x 24"W Pete James Johnson (American, 20th Century) is an artist, musician, producer, and audio engineer from Minnesota, MN. He plays drums and bass, among other instruments. He has performed/toured with Grammy winning artists such as the Bob Mintzer Big Band, Russ Ferrante, worked with 23-time Grammy-winning producer Al Schmitt at Capitol Records.
