Gibson Byrd

Long View II, 1988

23.5 × 35.375 ″ Framed: 25.5 × 37.063 ″ Oil on Canvas

The sky and foreground land take up the majority of the composition. The foreground is a red-ish, dark orange color with a few green bushed and trees scarcely placed. This is angled downward toward the left of the composition. The middle ground is the smallest section depicting flat farm land lined edges with trees on the left. White buildings are seen but are only rectangular. The right is depicted a forest of trees. Just before the horizon there is more flat farm land with a couple of dark green spots being trees. The sky is filled with light grey clouds against a pink and purple sky. This piece is framed in a light wooden frame.
