About the Item
An oil painting of a landscape in Florida. The house of Refuge Museum showcases historic work from entrepreneurs and inventors. Bretzke captured it on a grey day, blue sky pokes out of whispy grey clouds. The presence of man is apparent in, two figures waling along the street's side, a car in motion, and the power lines that run parallel to the street.
Exhibited in Carl Bretzke 2020 Solo Show at Grenning Gallery.
