Cooling Off 1970

Jamie Wyeth's 1970 painting, "Cooling Off", showcases the artist's signature style of realism, capturing the subtle beauty of a simple rural scene. The painting depicts a weathered barn against a snow-covered landscape, with a pile of hay resting in the foreground. The artist's use of muted colors and brushstrokes creates a sense of quietude and tranquility, typical of his depictions of Maine's landscapes and architecture. "Cooling Off" is an example of Wyeth's talent for portraying the mundane in a captivating and evocative way, highlighting the quiet beauty often overlooked in everyday life.
