Piece has been well taken care of and kept out of the light for many years, this original oil painting on canvas covered board is a superb Wisconsin landscape of trees above some rocks and executed in a neo-impressionist style that in many ways is reminiscent of the style of WPA artists, like Thomas Hart Benton. An exhibition of Dietrichs work is included - although it does not include this piece, you'll get a wonderful feel for Dietrich's work and why this prolific painter in in many corporate art collections as well as established families throughout Wisconsin - also into the Southwestern United States. {Book is a softcover oblong folio entitled 'Views of Our County: A Thomas Dietrich Exhibition' - from the Outagamie County Historical Society, Outagamie Museum Appleton Wisconsin including an introductory essay by Morgan E. Baird.} The white birch really pop out in the foreground of the picture while evergreens and other tree species form a great atmosphere that Dietrich infuses with almost a cubist (maybe a little Marc Chagall too) sense of space created through light. There's a tremendous sense of depth created by the natural light passing through the forest canopy onto the forest floor and reflecting brightly off the rocks near the foreground (see close-up of impasto work). This painting also has a nice sense of movement that we've found common in Dietrich's work be it watercolor, sketches or paintings such as this.
