This painting above illustrates the early artistic roots of Hart Benton in Pollocks beginning works, before becoming even more abstract in his designs. The painting above portrays Pollocks contentment with the American West in which he was brought up and raised in the state of Wyoming. The abstraction in the piece is most clearly seen in the swirling pattern done to the background which is the sky.
