"On the Breeze", a masterfully detailed realist figurative landscape watercolor by John Francis Marsh (American, b.1936), in which three young girls play joyfully in a field of hundreds of impeccably rendered wildflowers including poppies, dandelions, and lupines. The girls pluck the fluffy white tuft of the dandelions and let it blow into the wind, capturing a moment that is a universal carefree childhood pastime. The artist's addition of a meticulous red antique car also showcases his skills as an industrial designer. Signed and dated "John Francis Marsh '95" lower right corner.
