style is in low shades Of secondary colors

covered with shaded green foliage, varied
here and there by clusters Of creamy-tint-

at regular intervals by bending trees and
shrubs into medaIlions. wherein . pale

leaves down upon piece Of water, It's

leaves, rushes, tall grtsses, and brown
rocks overgrown with lichen ferns. A
similar style, equally beautiful in its soft,
yelyety effects, like painting, shows au-
tumnal tins Of tangled forest with leaves
tlecked with crimson, yellow anu brown.

medallions and in its background rise

branches OF changing foliage: beneath a
deer drinks from the pond, and another
