| Description: | A creek ripples down over a succession of small falls in the interior of a forest, toward the foreground where it passes through a pool surrounded by bright beige boulders. The trunks of two, dead trees, one beige and one grey, stand above the boulders on the right, while a little farther back another dead tree leans slightly out over the creek. In the background the sides are filled with indistinct forest foliage, around the sun-brightened, upper center. (From the painting, 21 July 1990.) |
