J. Alvin Storck, Framed Acrylic on Board, 36 x 29

$1,500.00

This acrylic on board by J. Alvin Storck captures the serene expanse of an American wetland landscape with characteristic mid-twentieth-century clarity. Two sentinel trees anchor the composition, their dense foliage contrasting with the open meadow stretching toward a distant waterway. Storck’s warm, luminous sky—built in layers of amber and cream—casts a golden hour glow across the scene. His controlled palette and atmospheric perspective create a sense of spacious stillness, evoking the quiet grandeur of rural American lowlands that inspired his landscape work.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
