Artist, American, born 1937

The image shows a wooden picnic table in an open field. The table is partially shaded by a tree above, with some objects on it. In the background, there is a grassy area leading to a fence and distant hills. The clear sky above contrasts with the grayscale palette of the photograph, which captures the light and shadow in the scene.
