According to Dean A. Porter, the present work belongs to a group of "watercolors dating from the late 1920s. Characterized by their close relationship to nature, they reveal an artist who tended to be very specific about what is included on his sheet. He paid particular attention to the feathery softness of spruce, the textured surfaces of adobe...The moods of nature dominate these watercolors. Dark, moisture-laden clouds envelop and threaten mountains whose durable surfaces seem impervious to the acts of nature." (Victor Higgins: An American Master, Salt Lake City, Utah, 1991, p. 155)
