Title: The Rockies from the Porcupine Hills

Date: 1947 – 1957

Medium: oil on canvas

Dimensions: 25.4 x 30.3 cm

Description: View of the foothills of mountains. The foreground slopes downwards towards a valley in the middleground.

On the valley's floor are indications of green and brown fields-small touches of blue and white in the valley (near the middle of the picture) may be buildings.

In the far distance are medium blue-grey mountains. The sky is light blue and is divided in half by a line of very pale white clouds with some pink blended in.
