label: Description
content: Landscape sketch showing a view of trees on the edge of a lake or pond on Grand Manan Island in Canada. In the foreground at left, a portion of a fallen tree is semi-submerged near a patch of reeds or water grass. At right, two large trees, rendered in great detail, have thick trunks and lush canopies that partially hang over the water at center. The dark areas of dense vegetation around and behind the trees are shaded through deft diagonal hatching. Visible at lower center, the body of water stretches across the middle distance until it reaches the heavily wooded opposite shoreline in the background. The distant treetops form a unified, billowing mass.
