Observation 11: Field Trip to Lee Gallery

http://www.nhhistory.org/champney/ws7-lg.jpg I think this painting is a great representation of the peacefulness of nature. I think this painting appealed to me because I enjoy the outdoors. It shows some cattle drinking from a peaceful stream and some people relaxing in the shade. The fall colors of the trees and the mountains in the distance also give a peaceful feeling to the painting. The overall painting is very soft and somehow manages to capture my attention and make me think about time when I have been in the mountains and other places outdoors.
