Oh my goodness - I drive by an abandoned farm surrounded by a field of wildflowers, including daisies for 2 full months in the summer and they are in the middle of their second bloom right now. This oil painting has captured a similar scene so well. This is an evocative oil painting by Elaine Wright from Swartz Creek Michigan that has a photographic quality. The abandoned horse cart and tree posts are strikingly contrasted with the cheerful white daisies in their temporary bucket home! The grasses are turning to brown, the fence and wagon are no longer in working condition, but the flowers are still blooming!

The piece is framed in a wood frame with gold and linen contrast, a common type of frame used in the late 1970s/early 1980s out of Mexico. It adds to the rustic and beautiful juxtaposition of the elements of the painting.

The art piece is in very good vintage condition, no noted flaws I can see. The frame is a bit dusty in the corners and appears to be a bit dried out , a good cleaning and application of wood oil would serve it well. It is substantial and sturdy.

It is painted on a canvas that is in nice condition on the back as well. There is a hanging wire. The painting is held into the frame with substantial brackets. I believe this was likely for sale at an Arts & Craft fair in it's day as there is a FOR SALE $80 tag on the back. 1979 is in black marker on the back as well.
