Palisades Tumble #1 bears witness to Sommerfield’s appreciation of nature, and it represents nature through Sommerfield’s own eyes. The scene features water, land, and sky, which are depicted through rich, yet soft, tones of pink, blue, and green. The interconnectedness of the colors reflects Sommerfield’s urge to capture the natural beauty of her surrounding environment.
