A soft pastel painting of a woman reading on a yellow couch. Light streams in from a window opposite her illuminating her gold-trimmed blue dress and a rug decorated with purple and green thistle blossoms. To the left of the couch is an arched window looking out on a Ponderosa pine tree trunk. Above the girl on the couch is a large, gold-framed painting of an expansive vista of a river valley and faraway mountains. The mood is calm, cool, and meditative.
