Sublime in nature with a high perspective overlooking the lake below, Brigden situates the viewer as part of the hillside, peering down at the landscape. Influenced by British watercolourists, the artist depicted landscapes in a naturalistic and realistic style rather than the expressive and looser styles of Canadian painters of the early twentieth century. With layered hills receding into the fading horizon, Brigden captures the lushness of the Canadian landscape, instilling peace and calm.
