Story / Additional InfoThis painting features a canal that cuts through the countryside in the San Joaquin Valley. Water is critical to the agriculture that sustains the valley and feeds half of the world. The painting is large and makes a bold statement, with bright yellows and oranges. The movement of the composition is fluid and circular like the subject. The artist was influenced by Pierre Bonnard's large post impressionist landscapes, but gives it her own personal touch style-wise. There is also a nod to the fauve landscapes that were painted with pure, brilliant color aggressively applied.
