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.
