Near Nyack (Winter Morning)

Description
Richard Hayley Lever (1875 - 1958)
A fine example of Hayley Lever's artistic doctrine, as evidenced by his quotes below.
"Art is the re-creation of mood in line, form and color. If I were confined to my own backyard for the rest of my life, I'd still have more pictures in my mind than I would have time to paint. Art is nothing but having a good time".
“One thing that amuses me is being called a modernist. Why, I’m one of the old fellows”. (1936)
