Rainy Day c. 1949

"Rainy Day" is a woodblock print by Everett Franklin Spruce (1908-2002) and is a classic example of landscape art. The print features a solitary tree in a field, with a winding path leading towards a rocky outcropping. The dark tones of the image, combined with the diagonal lines of rain, create a sense of atmosphere and evoke a feeling of loneliness and isolation. The image's details showcase the artist's skills in representing nature, especially the use of lines and textures to depict the leaves and water. The image is a testament to the power of woodblock printing, capturing both the beauty and the melancholic atmosphere of a rainy day.
