Woman on Porch Feed Her Cats at Early Morning Light

Creator: Joe Bowler
Offered by: Robert Funk Fine Art

Description
A milk truck is seen caressed in the golden light of early morning, as a woman bends down to feed her cat. The artist depicts a precious moment as an older woman reaching down to pick up the milk and eggs deposited on her front porch. The delivery truck is seen off the side as it drives away into the golden light of early morning. It is not totally clear whether the woman is trying to pet a scratching cat as well, as she leans down. Clearly, the cat is away that the milk is there. This is a full story being told in one picture. It captures Americana in the artist's formidable academic style where the lighting, figures and architectural details are masterfully described. Bowler was a top illustrator. This was most likely done for a major newsstand magazine like the Saturday Evening Post Joe Bowler was a for-hire artist and this work was clearly done on assignment most likely for a major newsstand magazine.
