Mountain Laurel, 32 x 32 inches
This painting was classified as a still life, but could also be a landscape. The tiny patch of blue in the upper right corner suggests sky and distance. The landscape genre can be combined with other painting genres such as: figurative, portraiture, interiors, still life.

Framed sea
Childe Hassam
Charles Walter Simpson, English
Sea framed by rocks. A seascape can easily look lopsided if the cliffs or rocks are on one side only.
In both of these paintings there is a path along which the eye is led into the scene.
