Artist, Scottish, 1883 - 1959

The image shows a rural scene with rolling hills in the distance. Tree tops and rooftops are visible against the sky. A large tree is on the left, painted with expressive brushstrokes. The painting features loose and fluid brushwork. The color palette is soft and muted, with greens, blues, reds, and browns blending harmoniously. A road leads into the distance where two figures are walking toward a building with red chimney tops. The sky is lightly washed blue with touches of white.
