Description
A mountain and river scene. In the foreground a river that is surrounded by yellowing grass and pine trees exits the LLC. There are two rocks jutting out of the river at the bottom of the piece. On the left side of the river, going out of the frame of the painting, trees stand on a raised surface. In the background, mostly on the right hand side, is a range of mountains with four main snow capped peaks. In front of this range and behind the river is another mountain that is cropped by the TRC and right side of mat. This mountain has a slide that meets the trees at the bottom. The main colours in this piece are browns, yellow, greens and a faint blue.
