Defiance, Iowa Farm – Original

A friend informed me that her husband had commissioned this original painting from Gil back in 1975. It remains secure in it’s original plastic sleeve.

She shared the story: ” He and his cousin used to jump on the train north or south of town [Defiance, Iowa] and ride it in to town, getting off at his uncles’s lumber yard building.  This is so reminiscent of that area.  I wonder if he did on the spot commissions; its simplest city might suggest that.”
