Description
Bare tree trunks, stripped of foliage, rise from a still pond that shifts from deep indigo blue in the foreground to pale turquoise and green toward the back, their pale bark reflected in faint vertical streaks on the water's surface. No figures are present; a dark tree line is visible along the horizon at the very top edge. Kazz Morishita, "Blue Pond," 2016, woodblock print.
