About this work

This watercolor shows a winding path through a forest of leafy trees. The ground is uneven, with patches of grass and rocks. In the distance, a small town sits by the water, and mountains fade into a pale sky. The artist used soft, blended colors to show light filtering through the trees. The scene looks calm, like a quiet afternoon. Look up Evans, Bernard Walter to see more of his nature sketches.
