Description
A row of five bare, gnarled trees stands in silhouette across a low horizontal composition, their dark forms set against a glowing gradient sky shifting from pale yellow to soft orange with a bright sun low on the right. Flat farmland stretches behind them in muted grey-brown tones, dotted with a few low buildings and what appear to be small carts or equipment, all shrouded in haze. Woodblock on Arches 90lb hotpress watercolour paper, "Persimmon Sunrise," Daniel Kelly, 1983.
