Weather Vane 1939

John Sullivan's "Weather Vane" from 1939 depicts a wooden rooster, a common symbol for weather vanes, with a detailed, stylized form. The painting is a watercolor, offering a realistic depiction of the rooster's form and the worn wood of the post it sits on. This work captures the simplicity and functionality of traditional weather vanes, a common sight on barns and farmhouses. The rooster's silhouette against a white background emphasizes its shape and the artist's skill in portraying both the subject and the material.
