- Description
- The foreground, occupying the lower half of the picture, is a shoreline covered by multi-coloured grasses and a few evergreen trees. The grass is composed of short brushstrokes coloured yellow-green, medium green, violet-grey, ochre, brick-red and brown. The few trees are briefly described with black and green stokes. In the middleground is a lake shown by a strip of light turquoise (wider on the left-hand side than on the right). Beyond the lake can be seen the lower slopes of surrounding mountains. The far shore has a thin band of tan which indicates a sandy bank. A dark forest lies on the edge of the bank. Behind the forest are slopes of tan, green-grey and violet-grey; just to the left of centre, is an area of green-grey rock with thin strokes of blue-grey which describe a waterfall.
