2000.3Description
Painted by Quincy native Dean Mitchell, this early watercolor painting consists of the image of a decaying old fence post, held up by its barbwire and rusty nails. Mitchell would have painted this while still in high school. The painting is executed in muted colors of tans, red, and browns, and the fence post floats in a barely sketched foreground in the upper two-thirds of the painting.Artwork Details
