Artist, American, 1895 - 1968

The image depicts a serene park scene with a high horizon showing lush green hills meeting a gray-blue sky with fluffy clouds. Trees can be seen on the horizon. The painting has fluid watercolor brushstrokes. People in formal attire walk along a path with dogs, and small boats move on a calm water body. Vibrant green hills with boulders, trees, and some fall foliage are in the distance. The color palette includes soft greens, browns, blues, and occasional pops of color from the people’s clothing.
