The foreground, which is more than half the painting, is comprised of snow, ice, shadows, two sections of the creek starting from viewer’s left, with one bush and one coniferous tree to viewer’s far middle right. The dark water of the creek is visible from the bush at the right, flows under the ice and snow, and then reappears at the left-hand centre of the painting and flows to the viewer’s left hand corner of the painting. The top-third of the painting is a bank of coniferous trees, sparsely painted on the left, becoming larger and darker towards middle and then lighter on the right as the trees further back rise to the mountain range in the background. Snow and clouds obscure the mountain tops. The sky is light grey and white.

Description
A summer scene dominated by Mt. Rundle and the trees that flank Vermilion’s first lake. The dominant colours are light and dark green, black, blue, brown and grey. The foreground is green and brown low vegetation, out of which a line of lodgepole pines, some dead and still standing, rise to two-thirds of the painting. Starting at the viewer’s far left, at mid-point, the branches of an aspen with green leaves fills the top far left of the painting. Vermilion’s first lake is visible though the lodgepoles and directly behind that, are the dark trees that line its opposite bank. Above the lake the lower slope of Tunnel Mountain is visible to the viewer’s left. The painting is dominated by majestic Mount Rundle, its lower slopes covered with muted green coniferous trees and its sheer rock face in varying shades of grey, blue, and brown. The deep blue sky has a few wisps of white showing through and some light grey clouds to the viewer’s right, above the peaks of the Rundle Range.

A dark, stormy sky, and a large stand of partially burned trees on the viewer’s left, dominate the top two-thirds of the painting. The dominant colours are blue, black, green and brown. In the foreground to the viewer’s right are remnants of stumps and what appears to be fall vegetation, with charred tree trunks. To the viewer’s left is a charred stump of a burned tree trunk and above that a large stand of lodgepole pines with charred trunks, but with needles still on the tops of the trees. The stand of trees rise high into the stormy sky. Further away, behind the lodgepole pine trees, is a bank of coniferous trees in various shades of greens, that stretch across the painting. Above that, starting behind and to the right of the lodgepoles, mountains are visible; the first and farthest away, is grey with some snow visible, and then wooded mountains continue to the viewer’s far right to the edge of the painting. The dark, cloudy sky dominates most of the painting.

Description
Predominant colours are pink, blue, purple, green and brown. The painting is dominated by the pyramidal-shaped Mt. Assiniboine and the icefield below it. It appears to be an aerial view of sunrise on the mountain. The foreground is comprised of rocks showing through a snow-covered approach to the mountain peak. The rocks are various shades of very dark blue, lighter blue and brown. To the viewer’s left the snow is tinged in various shades of pink as the morning light strikes it and the view to the right is still in the blue shades of shadow. The artist’s signature in white is in this area. The middle of the painting is the pink glow of the sun on snow with some shaded snow and rocks still showing to the viewer’s right. The top-half is a snow-covered Mt. Assiniboine with brown rock bands; viewer’s right in the sun’s light and viewer’s left in the shade. Beyond the mountain are hills and valleys of pink, blue and green. The sky is a very deep shade of purple and blue.

Description
General colours of blue, grey, turquoise, violet, pink, green, white, black and brown. The painting is dominated by a frontal view of Mount Yukness as seen from the shoreline of Lake O’Hara. In the foreground is a grey, blue rocky shore with rocks, water and tree trunks. On the viewer’s left are three large dead tree trunks, painted in black, brown, grey and violet, lying on grey rocks interspersed with blue water puddles; the topmost tree trunk has branches, the lower two do not. To the viewer’s right two tree trunks are lying on the rocky shore; the bottom tree trunk, which extends further out in the water, has four branches and beneath this is the artist’s signature “Rene Thibault” in black. About one-quarter up from the shore and tree trunks there are three coniferous trees to the viewer’s left, and then a rock in the water with coniferous trees growing on it. Beyond this, viewer’s left, is the lake and opposite shore; the lake has shadows of black, blue, grey extending to turquoise blue and grey further out and to the opposite shore at the base of Mt. Yukness. Beyond the foreground tree trunks, mid- and to to viewer’s right, darker grey rocks are visible through the water. On the viewer’s right the water becomes more turquoise as it reaches a bank beyond comprised of grey rock, a line of coniferous trees in greens and black, and a few grey tree trunks lying on the shore. The face of Mount Yukness comprises the majority of the painting (top two-thirds). The lower part of the mountain is painted in darker greys and blues except for the moraine from the falls which is light grey. The uppermost part with the Yukness Ledges and peak are painted grey, white, pink and blue. The sky behind is painted in grey with bold strokes of white and lighter greys simulating clouds.
