Sierra Crags
Painted at Pine Lake, this rendering of tremendous mountain forms makes for a composition of imposing and compelling power. The crags, rising to sheer heights, and wrapped in the shadows of morning, ineffably ethereal and lovely, place themselves as a blue wall against the greensh-blue sky. The snow is spread like a white scarf along the crags. Summit Lake, tamaracks grouped around it, lies asleep in the foreground.
