Mill-Race is a 1903 oil by Jonas Lie, depicting tree, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting, titled "Mill-Race," showcases a serene landscape with a stream running through it. The stream is flanked by trees and buildings, creating a sense of tranquility. In the foreground, the stream's gentle flow is depicted in soft, muted colors, while the surrounding foliage is rendered in warm, earthy tones. Upon closer inspection, the artist's use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene. The play of light on the water's surface creates a sense of movement, drawing the viewer's eye along the stream. The artist's skillful use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts between light and dark, adds to the painting's visual appeal.
