| Description: | A woman dressed in Sunday meeting clothes walks along a road through a redwood grove toward the viewer; a child in a red dress follows behind her. On the left side of the road the forest stands on a high bank; the right side is filled with the lower trunk of a giant redwood. A dead branch drapes from the left over the center; another hangs from the tree on the right. Red dots (of poison oak?) appear to the right of the giant redwood. The foreground and interior parts of the forest are shadowed, in contrast with the sunny road and the branches that hang across it. The blue sky is visible only in small patches through the upper branches. (From the painting, 10 January 1990, at Christopher Queen Galleries.) |
