Inside a Benton Rolling Field

“A panoramic scene painted in the style of Thomas Hart Benton's flowing American Regionalist murals, with rhythmic curving forms and a palette of muscle brown, plowed black, and yellow ochre. Foreground shows a bare-chested farmhand swinging an axe at a stump, ropy muscles taut, a hound watching from the grass. Midground reveals a horse-drawn plow cutting curving furrows and barns with sagging rooflines tucked among rolling hills. Background shows a winding river snaking through ridge after ridge under a sky of swirling cloud, every element pulled along the same curve.”
