- Valley area centre with mountains on either side, rocks in foreground right, four trees on mountain side right, one large tree on same plane as other trees left, mountains from a V in distance, valley continues at the base of the V.“Sketching Lake Louise was de rigour for artists in Canada in the first decades of the twentieth century. Collings chose an unusual view looking down towards the lake through a narrow, sinuous valley. The resulting “starburst” composition is contained by uncompromisingly vertical trees on either side.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
