The background reveals a lush line of trees under a vast sky that stretches into a quiet, early evening.The distant right side of the painting offers a glimpse of cozy life with teepees nestled among the trees, emitting gentle streams of smoke that blend into the sky, suggesting a quiet daily life that resonates with the soothing tones of nature. A singular bird in flight enhances the sense of peace and freedom that permeates the atmosphere.Buchser’s palette of soft blues and earthy greens, combined with the fluid brushstrokes, accentuates the gentle flow of the river and the expansive calm of the landscape.
