- Description
- Autumn in the valley below the Sawback mountains, west of Banff. In the left foreground is a single poplar tree whose leaves are turning yellow. The tree's lower trunk is well defined. Dark bark (deep blue-brown with touches of violet and brick-red) is at the base and smoother bark (a mixture of light green, violet and ochre) is above it. The grasses about the tree are coloured pastel brick-red, brick-red, tan, and brown-green. In the central middle-ground is a dense group of poplars with dark blue-brown trunks and orange-yellow leaves. In the central background can be seen mountains of grey rock with blue shadows.
