Mt. Katahdin from South Turner Mountain, Maine

A large mountain with reddish-brown, sunlit slopes rises above a dark, shadowed valley dotted with small white buildings, while a rocky outcrop and shrubs frame the lower right corner. The loosely brushed oil and graphite study on paperboard shows a pale, hazy sky above the ridges.
