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

Landscape with a tree in the forground left, a spindly branched tree, and a similar shaped one 1/3 the size opposite it to the right. - there is a pond of lake behind these across the center of the frame, and gentle sloping green land further back. - blue sky on the upper 1/3 of the frame with wisps of yellowing/grey clouds across.“A pleasant painting full of tender greens and spring blossoms, this view of an apple orchard, possibly in the Okanagan area, exhibits a moderate impasto effect. Darkest tones have been restricted to a few branches and detail in a town across the lake, suggesting the late date although Collings brushstrokes do not follow the contours of his images.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath

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
