Three trees set in foreground right, to left of is a valley with winding path/water. Hills in distance set in centre.“This is a fine example of Collings’ late work. Sweeping curvilinear lines imbue it with a poetic serenity, while the upright lines of a tree on the extreme right serve to stabilize the whole. The artist increasingly restricted his darkest tones in his mature work, opening up his pictures and enhancing the impression of vastness so characteristic of his Rocky Mountain scenes.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath

Collings chose an unusual view looking down towards the lake through a narrow, sinuous valley. The resulting “starburst” composition is contained by uncompromisingly vertical trees on either side.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath

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

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
