Sassafras 

"Sassafras" is a painting by Jeff Jamison, a contemporary American artist known for his impressionistic style. This piece captures the essence of a city street scene, with the focal point being a woman walking under a bright red umbrella. Jamison's use of loose brushstrokes and vibrant colors creates a sense of movement and energy, while the softened outlines of the figures and buildings add a dreamlike quality to the composition. The painting evokes a mood of urban tranquility, with the rain-slicked pavement reflecting the surrounding buildings and the vibrant colors of the umbrellas.
