Screel Hill and Urr Water from Kypford is a 1907 by Frank Short, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting depicts a serene landscape, with a body of water in the foreground and a hill rising in the background. The sky above is a deep, dark grey, and the moon is visible as a thin crescent shape. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet contemplation, with the stillness of the water and the peacefulness of the night sky evoking a sense of calm. In the foreground, the water's surface reflects the light of the moon, creating a sense of depth and dimensionality. The hill in the background is shrouded in darkness, adding to the overall sense of mystery and tranquility. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of drama and tension, drawing the viewer's eye to the moon and the water's surface.
