This
is an important Winter landscape painting of Donald's
- from his "Purcell, Selkirk and Rocky Mountain
Series". The painting combines all of the elements
that Donald is known for including great subject matter,
perspective, sweeping glaciers and highly charged and
stylized treatment of the clouds. You can almost feel
the chill of the Winter wind blowing snow in this painting.
It also comes from his highly sought after early career
period.
