Catalogue Note
Although this work is undated, it was probably painted in 1944 when Macdonald was in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. It differs from earlier paintings of the Rockies and Garibaldi as Zemans notes:
"they elicited a new vision which gave way to softer forms ... the brilliant light of the summer sun, along with a rich, brightly coloured palette, create vibrant colour harmonies to unify these paintings."
