Cliffs, November is a 1926 by Charles Sydney Hopkinson, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting depicts a rugged cliffside, with a rocky outcropping in the foreground and a hillside covered in red and green foliage in the background. The sky above is a light grey. A notable detail in the painting is the use of color to convey texture and depth. The artist has used a range of earth tones to create a sense of ruggedness and roughness in the cliffs, while the foliage on the hillside is depicted in softer, more muted colors. If you're interested in learning more about the artist's use of color and texture, you might want to look up the technique of chiaroscuro.
