- Description
- The sky takes up the top half of the piece, and is painted with a light blue wash. There is some fluffy white cloud activity. The foreground is a close up view of a mountain or large foothill. Nothing is growing on this portion of the piece but a small coniferous tree on the right side. A patch of yellow grass grows around this tree. This mountain or foothill has a since of being of a high elevation, through which another mountain range can be seen in the close distance as the foreground dips in the center. These two portions take up the other half of the piece.

- Description
- This is a fall mountain and river scene. In the foreground, the grass around the river has turned yellow. The river exits at the bottom of the piece in a portion that spans from the LLC to the LRC. There are small islands covered with yellow grass in the river. Trees surround the river and grassy area creating a line as they visually connect when the river bends to the left. In the background, above the trees, is a mountain which takes up half of the piece. The right side of the mountain is in shadow. The sky is painted with a light blue wash, and is occupied with light clouds. Where the sky meets the mat at the top of the piece, a small piece of sky pokes through the clouds and is cropped by the mat.
