DescriptionThe image is a landscape dominated by a large central tree that fills the visual plane; the trunk is wide, almost appearing to be a tight cluster of trunks; thick branches extend out of the top with a suggestion of foliage at their ends. Tuffs of grass appear at the base of the tree while in the background gentle darkened hills extend back to a range of outlined hills; two plane style trees are placed left of center, one plane style tree right of center.
