Oil on canvas
Canvas: 18” x 30”
Frame: 24” x 36”

A group of Native Americans camp on a serene landscape of lush trees and hazy hills, through which runs a tranquil river. The intricate details of the reeds in the foreground and the subtle colors of the sky and mountains convey a further sense of peace. It is a moment of stillness and contemplation, as likely and similarly experienced by the figures watching the river flow by on the bank.
