A grassy field leading to dark mountains and a cloudy sky

Oil paint on canvas, 16 x 20 inches

By John Swofford

About Field and Mountains, Swofford wrote, “I was inspired by the terrain of the western United States, in part because of its dramatic contrasts. The green blue mountain is meant to suggest enduring strength, while the dry foreground would speak to change, aging, or even desolation. I think, however, that the overall painting represents hope.”
