Artist, American, born 1937

The image features a wintry landscape with tall, leafless trees twisting upwards. The view is from ground level looking slightly up at the branches against the sky. A thin line of brush marks the horizon above the grassy ground. The color palette is monochromatic with grayscale tones. Twigs and smaller trees lead the eye towards the large, towering forms of the barren trees in the background.
