Furthermore, Timmons graciously invites the viewer to meander through the countryside by following a walking path that meanders through the composition.

This painting was signed by the artist on the lower left and is in overall excellent condition save a few minor scuffs here and there that are difficult to see. The frame is also very nice with minor scuffs/abrasions to the peripheries and high-pointed areas as shown. It is wired for suspension and ready to display.
