A grove of redwood trees stands on the right; we see only their lower trunks. The grove continues on the left side of the creek, but only two or three trees are visible. A log in the foreground crosses the painting and is the most noticeable object. Boulders and brush fill in the lower interstices of the grove. The colors are entirely shades of grey and blue, with a little greyish-green. (From a color photograph.) |
