About the Item

George Taylor's "Feeding the Chickens" is a delightful impressionist landscape that captures the serene beauty of rural life with a gentle, luminous palette. This charming painting portrays a tranquil scene where a woman, bathed in soft sunlight, is surrounded by lively chickens eagerly pecking at the ground. Taylor's use of lighter colors and fluid brushstrokes creates a dreamlike quality, enveloping the viewer in the peaceful ambiance of the countryside. The dappled light filtering through the trees casts a warm glow over the scene, highlighting the vibrant plumage of the chickens and the verdant grass beneath their feet. The composition draws the eye towards the central figure, and the smaller chickens around her. The surrounding landscape, rendered in delicate, impressionistic strokes, provides a soothing backdrop of rolling fields and distant trees, evoking the quiet simplicity and natural beauty of rural living. The leaves in the trees, each defined by a different brushstroke of green give detail to a genre that often is more whispy. This enchanting piece by George Taylor is a perfect addition to any collection that appreciates the beauty and timeless charm of impressionist landscapes. It serves as a reminder of the quiet joys of rural life and the enduring connection between humans and nature. This painting comes signed lower right in excellent condition!

"Forest Grove Farm"
By Joseph Barrett
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Illustrated in "Joseph Barrett, The Prime Years 1970s - 1990s", pg. 40, plate #046. Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by: Joseph Barrett (1936 – ) Joseph Barrett was born in Midland, North Carolina, in 1936 and studied at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Barrett, now of Lahaska, Pennsylvania, has been painting his entire adult life. His favorite subjects include the landscape surrounding New Hope and many local landmarks often encompassing figures into his compositions. Barrett utilizes a heavy impasto and his palette bears similarities to that of Fern Coppedge and George Sotter. Barrett’s paintings are always found in unique and somewhat charming handmade frames designed by the artist and finished in metal leaf. A living contemporary of the no longer living “New Hope School” impressionist painters, Joseph Barrett resides outside of New Hope above his old-fashioned antique shop and studio. Entering Barrett’s shop is like taking a step back in time. Inside this cluttered and dusty haven of treasures from the past, is a studio spanning only four by eight feet. This little studio, containing cans of old brushes and hundreds of used paint tubes...
