J. Alvin Storck, Unframed Watercolor on Paper, 11 x 14

$350.00

Watercolor on paper by J. Alvin Storck, this serene mid-century landscape captures the peaceful essence of a rural American farmstead. A classic barn with twin silos nestles amid green fields and scattered outbuildings beneath a broad, vibrant blue sky streaked with soft clouds, framed by trees and a gentle hillside with reflective puddles or a small stream in the foreground. Storck’s luminous washes in fresh greens, earthy browns, and glowing blues evoke the tranquil beauty and open light of the countryside.
