On the Ausable

A painting by James David Smillie, titled "On the Ausable", depicting a rocky river scene. The river runs through a gorge with steep cliffs on either side, covered in trees and greenery. Large boulders are scattered throughout the river, with water flowing over and around them. The river itself is dark green and calm in the foreground, with whitewater rapids in the middle ground. The cliffs are tan and brown, with some green moss and yellow foliage. Trees line the top of the cliffs, with some bare branches visible. The sky is gray and cloudy in the background. The painting is framed in white.
