DescriptionA barren dirt foreground gives way to an adobe style structure that spans the width of the support. The structure is low-slung with an undulating flat roof; two chimney stacks show at the back of the building, one on the left and one on the right. On the face of the building a door and a small window are on the left. A log lies on the ground next to the building at about the mid-point. On the right a tree with three twisted trunks clears the roofline before foliage appears. The blue sky has dark clouds gathering in both the upper right and upper left corners.
