label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of the rugged coastline of Newfoundland or Labrador in Canada. Seen from across rippling ocean waters that comprise the foreground, the dark brownish-purple, mountainous coastline stretches across the middle of the composition, remaining somewhat the same height throughout. Above, soft clouds are illuminated by the red light of the setting (or rising) sun, while other darker and cooler clouds hang below. The sky is otherwise a gradient from turquoise to yellow.
