Artist: Frank Nelson Wilcox (American, 1887–1964)
Medium: Watercolor on paper
Dimensions: 15in. h x 20in. w
Description:
"There were three trips to Hot Springs, North Carolina... On the first trip, Made in October... I saw the hills at their Sunday best - great rounded masses... As we climbed the ridges, the dark pines seemed to turn a paler green against the deepening sky; and the outlines of the hills faded off into infinity. This is the country for the romantic panorama - a quality not to be compressed into a small roughly panted canvas. When I went down in the winter, the peaks cast long shadows over the depths even at noon. We saw town and river veiled in blue shadow... The wintry sun was surrounded by a misty halo, presaging the heavy snowstorm the night we left for home."
