Artist, American, born 1946

The image shows a tree in the center, set against rippling water without a visible horizon. The focus is on the tree and its reflection in the water, capturing light and shadow. The tree's leaves and branches are clear, each leaf casting a small shadow. The grayscale image features a range of blacks, whites, and grays that highlight the tree's details, along with patches of grass framing its base. Light on the water creates a serene atmosphere.
