Lilian Miller, "Blue Hills and Crescent Moon"

A beautifully tranquil work by Lilian Miller depicting the quiet banks of a river at twilight. Soft evening tones and delicate gradations of rich blue and yellow create a serene, atmospheric mood, while a torii gate stands along the shore, welcoming visitors to a shrine nestled among the trees. A stunning work!
