Description
This impression is opaquely printed in rich, vibrant colors. At the time of this printing campaign, Baumann was using oil as the vehicle to mix his ground pigments and, as a result, the colors are saturated and brilliant. These three pines seemingly thrive at the top of the world with a backdrop of a crystal clear sky patterned with crosshatching to give atmosphere. A large, dense cloud formation descends along the left edge to the forest floor. Baumann discovered these pines somewhere on Longs Peaks in the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.
