DescriptionThe image is a landscape of seven large cottonwood trees with mountains in the background. The foreground is composed of orange-brown dirt and green grasses. The seven trees are grouped in a line that runs from the left side of the image toward the right; the furthest tree on the right is approximately one third of the way in from the right edge of the work. The trees trunks and limbs stretch upward and curve toward the right. The leaves are green and fade to yellow on top. The leaves at the top of the trees touch the upper edge and the right edge of the canvas in several areas. Behind these seven trees, there is a distant line of dark green trees. Behind that there are mountains that are lit from the right and shadowed in shades of purple and pale salmon. These reach about half way up the image. The sky fades from light blue to dark blue as it stretches from the mountains to the top of the image. On View
