Gosh - this one is gorgeous, and different from the historical ones I've seen.

While he's best known for his historical scenes, his output was quite varied, including scenes like this one- "In the Garden," 1950

Wow! thanks for sharing this. I hope I'll get to see more of Lawrence's work in future; will look for it.

I love this! I hadn't even realized Lawrence was alive and making art in 1999

Yep, he passed away the following year - and your question is making me wonder what his last works were, and if he left anything unfinished at the time of his death

This is such a great piece, I keep coming back to look some more

I used to have his Street to Mbari as my Smartboard background in my classroom.
