Hunting Son; [John in the Aspen]

This scene is thought to have been painted in about 1935.  It includes a portrait of John Hunting Son among a stand of  autumn aspens near the abandoned mining town of Twining, NM. It relates directly to another oil of about the same size and format, Aspens - Twining which dates ca. 1935. (related image, #630) which, in turn, is similar in handling to a larger work, Morning in the Aspen Forest, that was exhibited at the galleries of the Kreimer & Brother Co. in Cincinnati in 1935. (related image, #24)

 

In the Kreimer show there was a painting listed simply as Hunting Son.  This may be that work.
