Description: View of a coastal village. Similar to WyC.01.237. Five buildings are set along a shoreline which extends diagonally upwards from the lower left corner to the right-hand side of the picture. A building in the right foreground appears to have two brown chimneys on its roof. Two black boxes are by the left corner of the building. A low grey rising of rock behind this building partially hides two houses whose grey roofs are edged with light blue. A brown dock extends from these two buildings into the steel-blue water. An ochre and green shoreline composes most of the horizon. Violet-grey clouds parallel the slope of the near shoreline.

A white tent is pitched to the right of the green house closer to the channel's edge. Hills are seen in the distance, where they meet a light blue sky. A broken sweep of white clouds extends from the right down towards the hills on the left-hand side.

Description: View of a coastal village. The immediate foreground contains rocks. Three buildings are located on the grass-covered shore just beyond the rocks. On the left is part of a large red-brick house with a dark brown roof. To its right is a small ochre coloured building. On the right-hand side is a white and light grey tent outlined in dark blue.

The bays contain bright blue water with ochre reflections. The middleground contains buildings upon the bay shore across from the tent. The houses are placed and coloured in a Cezanne manner. The buildings are notated with touches of grey, blue, brick-red, tan, black, white and turquoise. The background contains ochre hills, and a light blue sky with violet clouds.

Description: View of a grey-brown church encompassed by houses. The church is located in the foreground to the right of centre. The only side of the church which is in full view has no windows or doors. The church's bell tower has an orange cross upon it. There is an indication of a dirt road leading up to the left side of the church. The houses about the church are coloured blue-green, blue, ochre or white, with details in brown or black. The sky fills three-quarters of the picture. It is a medium blue tone behind the homes, but there is a mass of grey cloud with light yellow highlights directly behind the church bell. The upper sky contains plumes of cloud divided by fairly distinct lines of blue sky (composed of loose brushstrokes placed side by side). The lines of blue sky seem to radiate outwards, like wheel spokes, from a point to the left of the picture's centre. Signed, in the lower right, Catherine R. Whyte '68.

Medium: oil on canvas

Dimensions: 25.4 x 30.3 cm

Description: View of a camp in a mountain valley. In the left foreground sits a large tepee. The tepee is shaded in greys with highlights in pale yellow and white. The tent flaps and opening are dark brown. Just to the left of the tepee is a grey tree stump, and part of a log cabin (with a red-brown roof and red-brown trim) is visible behind the tepee. In the background is a large pyramidal mountain whose summit (coloured white, grey, light brown and outlined in black) mirrors to a certain extent, the form of the tepee. The lower slopes of the mountain form a range which stretches across the background. These slopes are coloured ochre, tan and violet-grey, with touches of white. The base of the mountain range is dark green. Three small clouds hover in the blue sky just above the mountain.
