These three watercolors—Dryland
Farmer, Farm Girl, and The River Rat—were painted
as part of Bill Stockton’s “Neighbor Series,” and
he identified all three as examples of “Montana
portraits, almost types.” Stockton’s colors
are described as being those of the Montana landscape, “subtle
and restrained, yet rich.”
