The river at first light: the trees on the bank and their reflections dissolve into one soft, pale mist of blues, greens and violets.

Painting of softly rendered shapes in pale blue, green, and white. A textured green mass at left resembles foliage. Blue and white cloud-like forms fill the rest of the frame.
