Oil on canvas Housed in a contemporary carved giltwood frame Signed lower left “Schofield” Note: According to Dr. Valerie Livingston, this work was painted on Chebeague Island in Maine circa 1919-21. Dr. Livingston writes, “Schofield’s paintings from [the 1920s] have a striking affinity for the site: a languorous, pleasurable look at the colorful California harbors (Harbor Scene), scenes of the dry crisp western mountains (The Canyon, Tujunga), and from Maine, sun-drenched rocky shorelines of Chebeague Island. All are painted with the artist embracing the motif with a spare descriptive brush in broad, hard, determined strokes that confirmed his presence at the scene” (W. Elmer Schofield: Proud Painter of Modest Lands, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, 1988, p. 42). SIZE: 29-3/4″ x 36″.
