Artist, American, born 1951

The image shows a calm body of water with trees and shrubs lining the opposite bank, obscuring the horizon. Rooftops of small structures are visible in the distance, with chimneys rising above them. The scene is in black and white, with bare branches of trees reflected in the water. The image has a soft and melancholic tone, with variations of greys and blacks creating a peaceful but somewhat desolate landscape. There are no visible brushstrokes as the scene appears to be captured photographically.
