Ruth A. Clark (American, early 20th Century) Tranquil Pasture
Oil on canvas, 22.5 x 30 inches / Signed lower right
Take a moment with this painting. Notice what it stirs in you. Not decor, but a story you get to keep looking at. This is the piece people ask about the moment they walk in.
Little is known of Ruth Clark’s art training and there is very little biographical information available, other than that she was in Alameda, California in 1912. That Clark was a talented artist cannot be questioned. This painting illustrates her skill in composition—horses rendered in exquisite detail. The background contains a delightful accent--a mule, also painted in exacting detail.
