Country Tour

Oil on canvas Here, C.B. Darst takes brush in hand to capture a summer car trip along a wide, expansive lake. One experiences calm, serenity, and a holiday feeling, reinforced by the presence of a gently bobbing rowboat. There seems to be a hidden message here, namely that human innovation in the form of the automobile does not disturb the natural balance but actually enhances it. A tribute to the arrival of the automobile and the freedom it grants.
