John Ottis Adams Along Indian River (Florida Cow, New Smyrna) Dated: 1923-1926
This painting depicts a field and stream scene. The stream begins in the bottom left corner and winds back to the center middle ground. A large tree sits on the bank to the right with more vegetation behind. The field and bank are covered with tall green grass. A tree line runs across the background and divides the field from the cloud filled sky. Two small cows, one black and one white, graze in the very center of the composition. The palette is cool.
