Description

A painting of a shore that is lined with rocks, and a tree off to the right hand side. The water seems low, which may explain the rocks. The eye follows a path which begin in the central foreground and rounds around the shore and curves to the left off into the horizon (that is cloudy). Painted on canvas board, unfinished. This painting is extremely similar to a painting attributed to Gertrude and being in the possession of Deb Fulton Barr (see 2nd attachment) which implies that it may have been a copy done by Dorothy.
