Oil study of a rocky foreground, large brown rock set off to 1. High horizon line broken by another rock mass in trc. Blue water surrounds rocks, sky is of greenish-grey.“The technique here is patchy but a luminosity forecasts Collings later mastery of light. On the back is a lake scene, possibly Shuswap, which is smoother and freer, indicating a later date.” -- “Charles John Collings, 1848-1931” Catalogue Raisonne by Linda Heath
