A landscape scene with three buildings at the left bottom, with blue shaded roof, and three chimneys. -a group of trees to the right of the buildings. -One mountain in the background, ice blue colour on the bottom half to a purple cool top -purple sky with white misty clouds.“The mauves and dark blues and greens which characterize Collings’ Canadian work already predominate in this early example, and the towering mountain is wonderfully luminous if not fully understood structurally. Lights glowing from three buildings on the left suggest that it is late evening and shine upon the right-hand trees. The latter evidence is some overpainting.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
