Today I start with this Munnings painting, Lumbermen Among The Pines.
An April Day In The Forest is the title of this one.
A Team Log-Skidding In The Forest (Jura) is the title of this moody painting capturing men and horses at work.
Here we see Four-Horse Team In The Forest.
A Black Team In The Jammer features a device called a jammer, meant to ease some of the workload.
This is The Grey Team.
Log Loading is seen here.
A very well known work in Finland too.
