About the Item

Signed lower right and dated 1950. Edward J. Burns’ Harvesting, Cedar Rapids, Iowa captures the essence of rural American labor with striking realism and heartfelt reverence. Painted in 1950, this evocative scene echoes the Social Realist movement of the 1930s, emphasizing the dignity and perseverance of agricultural workers. The golden fields stretch across the canvas, bathed in the warm glow of a late summer afternoon, while figures toil with quiet determination, embodying the rhythms of a hardworking life. Burns’ brushwork and composition lend a timeless quality to the scene, inviting reflection on the enduring bond between people and the land—an ode to the agricultural backbone of the nation.

"New England Farm, " Landscape Oil Painting
By John C. Traynor
Located in Westport, CT
This large landscape oil painting by John Traynor captures a scene in New England. Cows are visible in front of a long picket fence, with a red barn and house behind the fence and lush green trees on either side and along the hills in the horizon. Fluffy, almost abstracted clouds sit above the hills, with a patch of blue skies shining through toward the top of the image. The painting is 48" x 72", and 58" x 82" framed. It is professionally framed in a classic, antiqued, gold leaf frame. It is signed by the artist in the bottom right-hand corner of the canvas, and is wired and ready to hang. John C. Traynor's painting style is reminiscent of some 19th century painters and the Dutch Masters. He uses his knowledge of light and color to create a certain mood in each of his works. The creation of atmosphere is an important element in Traynor's paintings. Painting outdoors, on location, is a prime source of inspiration and ideas for his landscapes. John travels extensively, painting the landscapes around him. John was born in 1961 and spent his early years in Chester and Mendham, New Jersey. His art studies began at Delbarton School in Morristown, New Jersey, and from there he furthered his education at Paier College of Art in New Haven, Connecticut. He studied figure painting at the Art Students League of New York, as a merit scholar, with Frank Mason. Traynor continued his studies in Vermont with Mr. Mason on landscape painting, drawing with Carroll N. Jones Jr. of Stowe, Vermont and sculpture with Brother Jerome Cox...
