Label Text"Tramping the hills with easel and sketching outfits, hunting for picturesque views," Baumann wrote, "we artists often meet children. They trip barefooted along the road to the local store. . . . As they grow up, some will feel the call of the soil and become farmers, or furnish the brawn of the nation. Some will venture forth splendidly equipped with health and vitality, to supplement the cities' demands for new energy. Others will stay, to lead happy lives in this sleepy little town. We venture no opinion of which will be the wiser or more fortunate."ProvenanceThe artist; Ann Baumann, Santa Rosa, CAOn View
