For those of you with low vision:
Painted in light vibrant greens, this painting depicts a sidewalk in one-point perspective stretching into the background with a large tree in the center rising from a grass median strip to a canopy of leaves sprinkled with dots of sky - a dancing composition of light and dark marks overhead. The sun shines brightly though its leaves, dappling distinct shadows across the ground beneath. To the right of the sidewalk is an open meadow with tall, pale yellow-green field grass under a bright summer sky. To the left of the median is a street lined on the far side with Victorian houses nestled in trees, the nearest house a bright yellow with a front porch in shadow behind its white railings and spindles.
