- Description
- Predominant colours are pink, blue, purple, green and brown. The painting is dominated by the pyramidal-shaped Mt. Assiniboine and the icefield below it. It appears to be an aerial view of sunrise on the mountain. The foreground is comprised of rocks showing through a snow-covered approach to the mountain peak. The rocks are various shades of very dark blue, lighter blue and brown. To the viewer’s left the snow is tinged in various shades of pink as the morning light strikes it and the view to the right is still in the blue shades of shadow. The artist’s signature in white is in this area. The middle of the painting is the pink glow of the sun on snow with some shaded snow and rocks still showing to the viewer’s right. The top-half is a snow-covered Mt. Assiniboine with brown rock bands; viewer’s right in the sun’s light and viewer’s left in the shade. Beyond the mountain are hills and valleys of pink, blue and green. The sky is a very deep shade of purple and blue.

- Description
- This drawing is a mountain scene, done in pastels on a grey coloured drawing paper. There are 3 mountain peaks: One is cropped off in the trc ,one is centered to the left, and one is in the tlc. In the forground is a small body of water which inhabits about 1/6 of the piece. The predominant colour is the grey of the paper. The mountain rocks are drawn mainly with black and there are white snowmarks and highlights intersperesed. Towards the bottom of the piece blues and greens are introduced sparingly, and again in the trc where a bit of sky is blue. There are light clouds in the sky. One of the central clouds seems to be hiding the sun which is casting a ray of light onto the mountains.
