Medium

Dimensions

Description
Colours are predominately black, green, white, grey, purple and blue. New-growth evergreens and charred black remnants of trees dominate the painting. Middle third of the painting through the charred trees is Storm Mountain range with mist and cloud obscuring tops of peaks; there is evidence of snow on the mountain range and through the trees on the lower slopes. In the top-third, a stormy sky prevails; several dark clouds with vestiges of blue sky showing. The foreground of new-growth trees are painted in different shades of green, mostly light green, darker green in the background and on the slopes. Dominating the viewer’s left is a tree burned black reaching from top to bottom, charred black trees in the middle half reaching up to the mist, and charred black trees on the right reaching from the new-growth forest floor to the top of painting. Viewer’s eye is drawn into the mountain valley foreground to the wooded uphill of seemingly unburned slopes.

Medium

Description
A summer scene dominated by Mt. Rundle and the trees that flank Vermilion’s first lake. The dominant colours are light and dark green, black, blue, brown and grey. The foreground is green and brown low vegetation, out of which a line of lodgepole pines, some dead and still standing, rise to two-thirds of the painting. Starting at the viewer’s far left, at mid-point, the branches of an aspen with green leaves fills the top far left of the painting. Vermilion’s first lake is visible though the lodgepoles and directly behind that, are the dark trees that line its opposite bank. Above the lake the lower slope of Tunnel Mountain is visible to the viewer’s left. The painting is dominated by majestic Mount Rundle, its lower slopes covered with muted green coniferous trees and its sheer rock face in varying shades of grey, blue, and brown. The deep blue sky has a few wisps of white showing through and some light grey clouds to the viewer’s right, above the peaks of the Rundle Range.

Medium

Dimensions

Description
A dark, stormy sky, and a large stand of partially burned trees on the viewer’s left, dominate the top two-thirds of the painting. The dominant colours are blue, black, green and brown. In the foreground to the viewer’s right are remnants of stumps and what appears to be fall vegetation, with charred tree trunks. To the viewer’s left is a charred stump of a burned tree trunk and above that a large stand of lodgepole pines with charred trunks, but with needles still on the tops of the trees. The stand of trees rise high into the stormy sky. Further away, behind the lodgepole pine trees, is a bank of coniferous trees in various shades of greens, that stretch across the painting. Above that, starting behind and to the right of the lodgepoles, mountains are visible; the first and farthest away, is grey with some snow visible, and then wooded mountains continue to the viewer’s far right to the edge of the painting. The dark, cloudy sky dominates most of the painting.

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
