This picture, in many ways such as color and shape, is similar to the beautiful but troubled land of California of which John Steinbeck writes in the grapes of wrath. The hills in //Shinnecock Hills// are round, touched by gold and green, just as one might imagine the hills and valleys of California to look when Steinbeck is setting the scene for one of the great works of American literature. But //The Grapes of Wrath// and //Shinnecock Hills// are related in another way as well. Whether when reading the book or observing the painting, one is taken by impressions of the vast beauty of the American landscape, something intimately tied to the American identity.
