A more straightforward approach to landscape painting cannot be found. The artist, very likely an enthusiastic but talented amateur, approaches his subject head-on concentrating on shape and color. Like the raw talent he or she possessed, life in the country can be lived with no shades of gray nor the complexities of nuance. This is in fact the very reason I love this genre; simple but interesting with structural materials often reflected in the direction of the brush stroke.
