A barn and silo is nestled in the luxuriant field of green and gold. Pink clous billow in a blue sky. The lovely view is close to Marina's Giverny, a place on the Indian Creek in rural Missouri. She has been painting there for close to 30 years. The ring of tress around the fields outlines the path of the Big Indian Creek. The rolling hills of the foothills of the Ozark Mountains stand in the distance. This painting was created on stretched canvas and measures 16" tall by 20" wide. The golden plein air frame is 17.5 " tall by 21.5" wide and .1.5" deep. Painting in the tradition of George Caleb Bingham, Marina paints the Missouri she knows and loves.
