DescriptionBorn in Philadelphia, Julie Raymond Polousky married a U.S. Marine and traveled all over the country, finally settling in California in the 1920s, where she would devote the rest of her life to portraying the beautiful landscapes of her adopted state. This painting, of a scene in rural California as if glimpsed from the road or a train window, captures the farmland almost as if it were a living, breathing thing, with the land and trees bursting into leaf or bloom and mountains seesawing up toward the sky. May Platt, Director
