It’s a beautiful painting one can fantasize in for hours

Outstanding!

Great subject, detail, color.

The light is amazing.

“A CB antenna for every roof.” I am trying to surmise by the shadows what direction the painter was facing, and what time of day is depicted. Would there happen to be a link to a higher resolution copy so I can download it, frame it, and enter it into an art contest?

Fine art ping.

My guess is that these are lightning rods, unless this is the home of some kind of early amateur radio society.

There’s hardly any shadow to be seen too. It looks to me like a thickly overcast day, with the result of light being pretty well evenly diffused from the sky.

Alexis de Tocqueville, on his trip around America in the 1830s, wanted to take a trip into "the wilderness" and made his way by horse with a friend and two Indian guides. They traveled from Detroit to Saginaw Bay, having crossed two rivers, the Flint and the Saginaw, to get there.

The Indian trail he took is the old Dixie Highway from Detroit to Saginaw.

He spent the night at Loon Lake just north of Detroit.

I love this song. It always bugged me though how the so called hero defrauded his father in law by selling him a worthless piece of land. Who is worse the arrogant father, or the thief? I guess just this thought should have marked me as a Conservative years before I even knew it.

We obtained the painting yesterday. Too bad museums in Michigan are hurting as it should be in a collection such as that. The painting was the winner at the L.A. County Museum in 1937.

It is really quite powerful. And the size is 36x42 inches so it is monumental in that regard.

We might make it available later. I’m sitting here in front of the piece right now. Just got it yesterday.

I never really gave it much thought. I love Lefty Frizzell’s singing though.

Great history in that region. How deep is the river where they crossed?

I stumbled across some interesting history while looking for info on something else.

I was wondering where the Will Carleton Poorhouse near Hillsdale Michigan got it’s name and discovered poet William Carleton. He lived in the poorhouse while he was a student at Hillsdale college in the late 1860s. His poetry was kind of interesting in the sense that he wrote about hard work, family, and resisting taking charity.

>>What is the use of heapin’ on me a pauper’s shame?
Am I lazy or crazy? Am I blind or lame?
True, I am not so supple, nor yet so awful stout:
But charity ain’t no favor, if one can live without.<<
