A watercolour landscape painting of mountains and a lake. There are three grey mountains in the background and behind them is a cloudless blue sky. In the foreground is a blue-green lake. On the bottom right, part of the shore with three large rocks, is visible. In the centre at the bottom, a few branches and two logs are breaking through the water. On the left side a large boulder sits in the water. In the middle ground there is forest along the lake shore. The forest starts out of frame on the right and extends just over halfway across the painting. Behind the forest on the left are two green hills. Greys, blues, greens and brown are the primary colours used. The artist signature is in the bottom rhc. Au verso, written in pencil along the bottom edge is, “At Lake Minnewanka aug 28/38 Doris Cormie” and also in pencil in the centre of the paper is “27” with a circle around it. Just right of centre near the top is written, “5334”.

Hoodoos tower over what is possibly the Bow River. Three large hoodoos stand on a bluff overlooking the river beyond them. Several more hoodoos are visible further along this same bluff. The area in front of the hoodoos is mainly flat with some rolling to the ground. The river flows through the watercolour, the larger hoodoos partly blocking the the visibility of the river. Coniferous trees are seen below the hoodoos along the river. Everything is painted in soft washes of sand, green and blue.
The painting is on heavy, brownish paper. The foreground is green, lower right are rocks and a rocky side of a mountain. Blue mountains are evident in background. The top two thirds of the painting is sky, slight washes indicate soft white clouds. Signed brc.
