There is a peak in the tlc, and in front of this peak, cut off by the left border, stretches a brownish mountain which reaches diagonally to the right and merges with the rest of the range. This range hosts a glacier. The river portion of the painting is separated from the mountains by a row of tall evergreen trees which appear to follow the river, in front of these trees are small leafy bushes, and then rocks by the shore of the river. In the brc, the river is interrupted by large rocks, which create a small series of falls. The river exits the painting along the whole bottom of the work.

- Untitled mountain landscape. The paint is applied in a free, almost drippy style, with quite opaque sections and the inclusion of white paint. The lake divides the piece in half, the bottom of which bears reflections of the trees and shrublike growth on the land above the lake. The trees are painted with forest greens, browns and yellow of a pale hue. There are two main groupings of trees on the shore of the lake: one on the very left cropped by the mat, and one closer to the right side. There is a canoe in the lake in the blc filled with people. The mountains meet the lake except in the mid left of the picture where a small rock formation lies in between the lake and mountain, and are predominately pale pinks, purples and white in colour. These colours are reflected in the lake. The sky is a pale yellow and mauve in colour.
