Title: Teepee at Num-Ti-Jah Lodge

Date: 1945 – 1955

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.
