A heavily textured explosion of autumnal color erupts on the opposite riverbank, illuminated by sunlight. The peaceful crystalline stream flowing through the painting adds to its tranquility, while the viewer's shaded bank offers a contrasting mood. This painting is a beautiful example of Saxod's candy-box style and her love for painting mountainous landscapes.
