Description: A brook flows over a small waterfall and directly toward the viewer. In the background is a gray, round-topped mountain. To the right stands a skimpy broadleaf tree above a trail along the right side of the brook. Immediately behind the tree is a lower tree in fall foliage colors. The left bank of the brook is white-walled; above the bank the stope rises steeply and is brush-covered. On the right bank lies a snag sloping down into the brook. (From the painting, 26 July 1996.)
Note: This painting and Eagle Falls, Rocky Mountains, although of very different subjects, are somehow related...they carry verso labels from the same exhibition, similar markings on the stretcher bars, and are of the same size, and they probably have the same provenance. This painting also bears some resemblence to [Mountain stream 3]
