2006.327: Clearing in a Forest
DrawingsA landscape drawing with two sizable trees in the foreground which frame a path behind them. The left tree has some leafless scraggly branches but the tree on the right is in full broad-leafed foliage. Some scrub vegetation sits in the shade below the trees with the path lying beyond it. The bumpy dirt path angles across and divides the composition. Smaller sun lit trees line the opposite edge of the path under a sky with low hanging fluffy clouds.
