DescriptionThe image is a landscape of trees, foliage, and sage brush in the foreground and mountains in the background. The brushstrokes are soft and the palette is composed of muted red-oranges, yellows, greens and blues. The foliage on the left side of the work stretches upward and touches the top of the canvas. There is a bush with red-orange leaves in the upper left quadrant and a bush with yellow leaves below it. On the right side of the work, there are smaller green and yellow bushes. In the foreground, there are frosty-blue sage brush plants that run along the bottom edge of the work. In the background, the mountains are painted in subtle green and grey tones; they extend almost to the top of the work. There is a strip of clear blue sky at the top of the painting.
