Description

Spare composition of an open space, perhaps parkland, is most distinctive in its use of linear elements. The horizontals of skyline and a row of plantings across the middle of painting are intersected by verticals of trees and, in the distance, lines of color ascending the hills. At bottom center, where a viewer presumably is invited to enter the landscape, a serpentine footpath gives way to branching possibilities.
