Landscape, colourful rolling foothills in the forground. - in the immediate forground at the bl. is a spot of green brown grasses. - past that is a varying green plateau. - then a spot of trees onward to the purple/blue mountains in the distance. - the sky fades into a yellow to green shade.“Collings typically restricted his darkest tones in this late watercolour to minimal accents -- a streak of rich sienna merging with deep blue which works as a ‘base line’ and his the key to colour relationships in the rest of his picture. The overall pastel tones and broad, open river valley view combine to produce an effect of silent and awesome beauty.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
