Kenneth KR Hess original oil painting, 1981 Florida landscape, herd of cattle in palm grove, Tropical Realism, large scale corporate art provenance, Sun Bank N.A. asset tag. This specific work is notable for its large scale (50 inches wide) and its composition, which utilizes the rhythmic verticality of palm trunks to create a sophisticated, modern perspective on a traditional agricultural subject. The presence of the ‘Sun Bank, N.A. Asset #09589’ label on the verso provides important provenance, indicating this piece was part of a major Florida corporate collection. During the 1980s, Sun Bank (now part of Truist) was a prolific collector of high-quality regional art.
