Description
Landscape with a tree in the forground left, a spindly branched tree, and a similar shaped one 1/3 the size opposite it to the right. - there is a pond of lake behind these across the center of the frame, and gentle sloping green land further back. - blue sky on the upper 1/3 of the frame with wisps of yellowing/grey clouds across.“A pleasant painting full of tender greens and spring blossoms, this view of an apple orchard, possibly in the Okanagan area, exhibits a moderate impasto effect. Darkest tones have been restricted to a few branches and detail in a town across the lake, suggesting the late date although Collings brushstrokes do not follow the contours of his images.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
