Description

Watercolor, ink and pencil on very heavy white paper. The image depicts a fantasy/whimsical landscape. A cobblestone road begins in the immediate foreground and recedes to the middle ground horizon. To the left of the road is a stone curb with grass and fallen leaves and beyond that the bottom trunk of a large tree with massive roots. Beyond and to the left of the tree are three other threes on the other side of the road. The sky is filled with small brown squares possibly representing more leaves. The work is signed in pencil within the image above the road to the right edge of the image. The color scheme is predominantly sienna browns with dark violet and blue.
