Description:

Oil painting on canvas of a landscape. A cluster of trees and bushes in the upper left is compositionally balanced by the two wooden posts in the lower right. The viewer's eye travels from the upper left hand corner, where the pigments are dark in tone, to the other region of concentrated dark tones, the wooden posts. The lines created by the dirt path in the lower left and the mountain range in the upper right also contribute to the compositional pull from left to right.
