In Rolling with the Times, the predominantly teal blue landscape swirls around with advancing cloud-like shapes. Trees, buildings and figures nestle into flower gardens frosted with snow while facing the challenges of a windy day. A sky figure in the top left-hand corner stretches to the viewer’s left while looking forward over a conifer tree. A figure contemplating a flower in the upper part of the right side of the canvas transitions through a jumble of buildings and bouquets into the lower scene ending with a person planted in the bottom right-hand corner.
