Excerpt from A Collection of Paintings Who does not love grand, old, rugged Tamalpais? Shrouded with dense undergrowth, wrapped in fleecy clouds, it is a theme that artists love. In this picture Tamalpais stands boldly outlined. Every shade that the master palette of all can blend is thrown over it in one gorgeous broidered tapestry - the colour gifts of God. The mountain has revealed itself to this artist and every stick and stone is done with fidelity to art. His versatility is shown with wonderful strength. Devotion and art go hand in hand. In striking contrast to the amethystine tints is the golden gleam of the sunshine on the dimpled hills, where quiet cows are grazing. The artist has made them life-like in motion. There is a glowing golden quality in the wooded slope which is full of vitality and colour. The artist has followed the star and has evinced re markable tonal quality and unusual technique.
