General Store in Aguanga Baking in the Sun
About this artwork
Artist Samuel Pretorius displays a rustic general store in the California countryside on a Sunday afternoon. He depicts the charming rural view in broad representational strokes. Samuel draws focus to the weathered wooden paneling contrasting with the white painted siding and patio baking in the sun. The warm rays of light brighten the visual angles of the architecture and the bare tree towering in the background.
