Clover, white yarrow and tall seed heads sway among pale limestone rocks in the foreground, and the meadow rolls down past dark pines to a calm lake in the valley. Low ridges close the view in soft blue-gray, while drifting cloud with patches of blue spreads across the upper third. It is open, airy and gently windswept.
Its broad, spacious view makes a calm statement above a living room sofa, or over a bed where the eye can rest on open distance. The Mountain Lake and The Twin Pines pair beautifully with it in the Mountain Valley in Summer collection, nine paintings of one mountain valley on a summer afternoon.
