Artist, American, born 1937

The image shows a mountainous landscape with rugged hills and scattered trees extending into a valley. The horizon is high in the picture, casting shadows that suggest early morning or late afternoon light. A sharply defined shadow of a mountain adds depth to the scene. In the distance, a valley transitions into a flat area with structures that could be a residential or urban area. The image is rendered in monochrome with varying tones of gray depicting the textures and forms of the landscape.
