DESCRIPTION:
|
This large oil by Frank McKelvey shows him as an accomplished artist, in the confident
security of his artistic gift. The composition has a sense of complete balance from range
of palette to quality of draughtsmanship, from sunlight to shadow. The farmer and his
cattle returning home, give this joyful panorama it’s perspective. The shadows cast by the
light falling through the tree’s foliage, contrast with the bright fluffy clouds overhead.
