Tree Trunk, Jamaica

An oil study on paperboard showing two tree trunks in a forest clearing. The nearer trunk is pale and mottled with lichen and moss, with orange-brown bark at its top, rising from leafy ground. Behind it, a darker trunk and loose green foliage fade into a hazy landscape. A signature and date appear at lower right.
