Description: | At the right center, a white-water mountain stream flows directly toward the viewer between rocky slopes with a snow-capped mountain in the distance. Two large, gnarled trees with deep green foliage stand on the left bank, a group of smaller trees clings to the steeper right slope. The sky is cloudy grey. Most of the painting is in shades of pinkish grey, with accents in green. (From a color photograph.) |
