"Spring Hills" Mid Century Modern Farmhouse Landscape in Acrylic on Masonite
Expansive landscape by notable California artist Farren Jensen (American, 1901-1991). A large field of wildflowers gives way to a mountain, rising quickly towards a cloud-filled sky. There are a few small trees at the base of the mountain range, as well as a white house with a barn, adding a sense of scale to the composition.
Signed "Farren Jensen" in the lower right corner.
Artist's sticker on verso with title and name.
Presented in a period appropriate wood frame with a linen liner.
Frame size: 27"H x 31"W
Board size: 20"H x 24"W
Farren Jensen (American, 1901-1991) was born in Utah and began painting in 1961 while touring the Southwest, but his interest in painting began in his childhood. He studied with Jade Fon of San Francisco, Jon Blanchette (an Aptos artist), and Carl Martin. Jensen lived much of his life in Tracy, California, where he was superintendent of Shell Oil Company Pipe Lines Northern Division. Many of Farren’s paintings depict Western landscapes of Utah and California Seascapes, inspired by his travels throughout the United States.
