Burn Below Storm Mountain
Date
1989
Medium
watercolour on paper
Dimensions
29.5 x 34.5 cm
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.

Rundle

Medium

Dimensions
29.0 x 38.5 cm
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.
