Description: | A pair of large live oak trees stand above thick brush on the left bank of a river against a blue sky that has a few sunset-tinged clouds. A path along the left bank winds through wildflowers. In the distance on the right two tall broadleaf trees are abstractly silhouetted against the sky. (From the painting, 9 December 1998.) |
