Date: c. 1903

Description: A horizontal picture.The painting features a large mountain which is located in the centre and right side of picture in the background. This mountain takes up 2/3 of the picture. The mountain is lightly covered with snow, and light brown rock shows underneath. The sky is filled with grey clouds and near the mountain portions of blue sky show through these clouds. On the left side of the work, still in the background, a smaller mountain stretches to the right and turns into a valley with a small pool of water at its base near the centre of the painting. The forground contains the rocks and sparse trees of a mountain, and looks into the base of the valley.

Medium: watercolour on paper

Dimensions: 22 x 17 cm

Description: 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
