Trees and Undergrowth, 1885. Creator: Garden William Fraser (British, 1856-1921) .

Trees and Undergrowth, 1885. Garden?s work was based on the rendering of minute detail with painstaking brushwork and handling of colour. Here, he describes an insignificant corner of the Bedford landscape: a tangled thicket in which dry grasses and saplings commingle. Bare branches stretch across a bright blue sky, creating a pattern as intricate as a spider?s web. This may have been the drawing that Garden exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1885 with the title Early Spring in the Woods. A pale green haze in the grass, the azure sky, and scattered wildflowers suggest the promise of spring.
