Untitled Landscape, Framed

Autumn, at full volume, beneath a sky the color of old linen.

This untitled landscape, framed, is by Lamar Briggs (1935-2015), in acrylic on board, 20th century. Landscape paintings like this are made for the walls of homes and offices, giving the people in those rooms a view of somewhere else. In the section shown, trees of orange, rust and yellow pile above a green bank. A low, dark arched bridge crosses pale water in the foreground, with thin dark trunks standing to one side. The paint lies in short dabs. The frame is black with a gold edge. Thirty-six inches wide by 46 high.

The bridge is a modest one. The trees have taken all the attention.
