Earline W. Barnes (American, 1926-2005). "Going Home" (Transmountain-Canutillo) oil on canvas board, ca. 2000. Signed and titled on verso. A gorgeous Impressionist landscape painting by renowned artist Earline Barnes of El Paso, Texas presenting a road leading toward the Transmountain Summit, where one may feast the eyes upon an expansive view of the west end of Texas, New Mexico, the Juarez Mountains, and Mexico beyond. Barnes rendered this scene with expressive brushstrokes and a vibrant color palette of sky blue, vermilion, pink, tangerine, lavender, violet, plum, peach, spring and forest green, cobalt, and white - cleverly and rhythmically repeating visual moments of vermilion in order to guide the viewer from the grasslands as well as the utility lines and their reflections on the road in the foreground to the sunset skies in the distance. A mesmerizing painting set in a custom silver tone frame. Size: 23.5" L x 35.5" W (59.7 cm x 90.2 cm) Size of frame: 24.25" L x 36.25" W (61.6 cm x 92.1 cm)
