Winter Evening Reflections collection, -The Shadows Grow Longer- by artist Steven R Kozar. Third issue in the series. The Bradford Exchange, 1995. Plate size approx. 8.5 by 6.25 inches. Suggested Retail $50.00.

What more perfect symbol of the farm and farm life than the barn? And this fine stone-based structure with trim roof and colonial spire speaks of a farm well planned and well tended. As the sun goes down in lavender-and-gold splendor, lights go on in the lower windows. The animals must be tended, the floor swept, the tractor polished, and everything put in perfect order for the night.

Celebrated watercolorist Steven R. Kozar portrays the strength of the heartland in this pristine view of the barn. Its reflection joins the radiant sunset sky in the icy, snow-framed stream. The barn and the silo at its side (most probably filled with part of the summer's harvest of corn or grain) tell the story of a summer—and, indeed, a lifetime—of faith and hard work.

Re-created on fine porcelain from a panoramic print by Mr. Kozar, this scene is a masterpiece all in itself. And yet it is just one more part of your Winter Evening Reflections collection. With -The Shadows Grow Longer- and the final plate to come, you'll have the whole serene and colorful Winter Evening Reflections to enjoy in your own home!

The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
