Label TextOnderdonk presents an idyllic view of a ranch house. He paints a nocturne, an evening scene. The lights inside the home shine warm light through the windows. The glow seems to beckon the viewer down the winding road. The clumps of large trees shelter the home. This ranch house provides a welcoming respite at the end of the day.
