A wide calm bayou stretches beneath a heavy overcast sky, its pewter surface a broad mirror reflecting muted light. The cypress line along the far bank softens into silhouette, while a lone stilted cabin stands at the water's edge with its small landing beneath. Rags of Spanish moss hang motionless, and the whole windless scene rests in quiet blue-greys, slate and pale reed greens, held still in flat, tranquil tones.
