Artist, American, 1897 - 1981

The image depicts a natural scene with foliage and rocks. A softly flowing line suggests a horizon or water feature. The scene is sketched with expressive brushstrokes and fine lines, creating forms of trees and plants. The pen work is loose and almost abstract, using delicate lines and washes of browns and purples. The palette is calming and subdued. Close to the viewer are loosely sketched plants and rocks, while in the distance, larger plants or trees are suggested with light and dense strokes fading into the background. The overall effect is one of spontaneity and movement, with parts of the scene implied, allowing the viewer to use their imagination.
