DescriptionMost striking about this painting is the glorious color and texture that Crocker uses. The sky is illuminated by warm tones of pink, purple and yellow. These soft, luminous colors of the sky are reflected in the water which is surrounded by trees just beginning to evince the signs of autumn. The small figure of the hunter and his dog in the lower right of the canvas offers the viewer an idea the sheer magnitude of the imposing mountains.On View
