Artist Norman Kenyon’s signed 1974 watercolor, “A Sunny Day’s Work,” captures the beauty of the Rhode Island farm – Avondale - nestled in the rolling hills of the New England countryside. Rendered in soft, earthy tones with expressive brushwork, the painting evokes the timeless charm of American farm life, complete with hay bales, a red barn, and open fields under a wide sky.
Professionally framed under glass with a muted green mat and gilt wood frame, this piece blends seamlessly into country, rustic, or Americana interiors, making it a beautiful fit for a farmhouse kitchen, guest room, or gallery wall. Whether you’re drawn to vintage New England landscapes, nostalgic 1970s artwork, or original watercolor paintings, this scene offers warmth, regional character, and collectible appeal.
Norman Kenyon, 1901-2001, was born in Holyoke, Massachusetts, and his family home was in Avondale, Rhode Island. A President of the American Watercolor Society, he was a noted magazine illustrator whose work included commissions for Cosmopolitan, Redbook, and Colliers.
