Harriet Randall Lumis (American 1870-1953)
“In Cummington, Massachusetts”
Oil on canvas
A quintessential New England landscape depicting a quiet stream bordered by trees and village buildings beyond. The composition is unified by rich atmospheric blue hues that permeate the water, shadows, and distant hill, lending depth and a cool tonal harmony to the scene. Subtle greens and earth tones balance the palette, while textured paint application captures shifting light and air.
