Description

The title of this painting isn't clear; it's inscribed as "Gray Day" on the frame, but listed as "The Two Birches" in its NDG and General Services Administration records--which is followed here for the sake of institutional continuity. The canvas itself shows Gordon's talents as an evocative colorist, using cool tones of gray, rose, mauve and green. As in his other NDG works, tree trunks are one of the few elements that are sharply delineated. A light source at top center suggests that it may owe something to the moonlit landscapes of Ralph Albert Blakelock.
