Medium: Watercolor on paper
Dimensions: 19in. h x 24in. w
Description:
"My biggest thrill came when, somewhat east of Cheyenne, we saw the serrated distant peaks of the Rockies filling the whole western half of the horizon - a pale blue edge to the earth seen in the blinding light of sunset. For the first time, I saw a whole city lying like but a small dark patch in a wide basin, with the shadows of the foothills reaching towards it and the peaks now larger and dark beyond."
