content: Landscape sketch showing view of the Blue Mountains in Jamaica. Green slopes in the foreground at left and right create "V" that frames the central view, where brown, rugged mountains extend to the horizon. Reddish brown paint articulates a road, visible at center. Above, a varied sky is composed of diverse cloud types, patches of blue, and, at top, the bright light of the sun illuminating a hazy cloud.
