Carl Ruggles

The Pool, Roaring Branch
1932

Impressionistic painting depicting a vibrant forest scene with a focus on a large, gnarled tree trunk in the foreground, surrounded by lush greenery and hints of sunlight filtering through the canopy. The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, suggesting movement and the dynamic play of light and shadow.
