A large tree stands in an open Catskills landscape, its canopy spreading above a few grazing animals and small figures. Rolling hills recede behind the pasture, while the foreground remains broad and sunlit. The tree provides a central anchor. The color and shape of central canopy meet rolling hills recede through a distinct contrast. This image draws together central canopy and rolling hills recede through placement and contrast.
