Words cannot describe that feeling when you find the perfect piece of art… and here we are, SPEECHLESS!!! This is an absolutely STUNNING watercolor of a winter farm landscape signed by G. Russell Case surrounded by a lovely gray matte and housed in a fabulous aluminum frame. It bears gorgeous colors of both dark & light blue, white, yellows, and browns. It is ready to ascend on ANY wall of your home that needs a magnificent, realistic art piece with incredible attention to detail. It is a snowy winter scene on a desolate farm that appears to be deserted... or possibly a comforting shelter to a few wilderness creatures trying to hunker down from the brisk breeze of the frosty winter air. Dark shadows of distant mountains boldly stand behind aged and broken utility poles and power lines that possibly once served the abandoned building. A ray of mid-day sunlight enhances a fractured white picket fence that lines the property above the glistening, snow covered ground. And a patch of brush and boulders peek through melted spaces where the sun kissed their peaks while tiny, scattered footprints have broken through the blanket of snow from wildlife scavenging the ground for a morsel. Breath-taking and bitterly cold but also breathtakingly beautiful… Was it a harsh winter and someone will return in warmer climate or is this the remnant of what was once a prosperous farm now vacant and meant to be admired by passersby? There is beauty to be found in what your imagination believes it to be… what could be… and what once was. This painting says that to me… What does it say to you?
