The Old White Schoolhouse P02789-P00124 precise and spontaneous lineworkFrance's father and his brothers walked across a cow pasture to attend an old one room, Midwestern country schoolhouse many decades ago where he was one of only two students in his eighth grade class. This painting is from France's imagination of an old white schoolhouse in a peaceful county setting. The painting continues around the sides of the gallery wrapped canvas and it is wired to hang, so that no framing is necessary.
