This oil painting depicts a country scene in the hills. It is by Rene Weaver (1897-1984). Based on where Rene Weaver worked and lived during his life, this painting was probably done plein air in California, Oregon or Idaho. (It looks very much like Pescadero CA). Weaver worked in both watercolor and oil paint. This painting is composed of oil on rough canvas or burlap. It measures 24 x 30 inches (28 x 34 inches framed). It is signed in the lower left. The painting is in very good condition. The vintage frame is painted a dull gold and is in good condition, with one small chip in the lower right inside corner and a few tiny areas where the dull gold finish has worn to brown. Rene Weaver was born in Pocatello, Idaho. After graduating from the University of Idaho, he studied figure and landscape painting with Emil Jacques in Portland, OR. Weaver moved to San Francisco in 1936 and worked and worked for Thompson Advertising Agency for 24 years. He had a painting studio at Sansome and Market streets in the Flatiron Building, and he taught classes in Asilomar and Pescadero, CA for young artists.

In 1957, he studied painting with Joseph Zaritsky, Avigdor Stematzky and Haim Kiewe. He also studied with Yehezekel Streichman at the Avni Institute. At the end of the 1950s, he went to Paris to continue his studies. In the 1980s, he joined the Radius artists cooperative. Avny's early work was influenced by the abstractionism of the New Horizons group. In 1963, he took part in the group's exhibition at Ein Harod.
