A crossing repeated in the water

The Red Bridge sets a warm red bridge high above a reflective stream, with trunks and branches close to the foreground. The bridge’s colour returns in broken marks below. Light foliage partly interrupts the structure, keeping the built form closely integrated with the surrounding trees and changing water.

A pale horse near the shadowed doorway

New England Barnyard looks across sunlit ground towards a timber barn and adjoining structures. A white horse stands beside the darker opening, giving the building a clear sense of scale. Broad roof and wall surfaces contrast with smaller plants and details along the lower edge of the scene.

Reflective objects on a pale surface

Still Life with Flagon, Glass and Bowl groups a tall metal vessel with a bowl, glass and small yellow accent against a restrained ground. The curved handle and broad reflective body give the flagon a strong presence. Compare these contained surfaces with the more scattered reflections beneath the outdoor bridge.
