 "The Distant Hills" was a scientific study of color and a feeling for the dramatic, common in all of her work — swiftly moving clouds, flowing water, the glitter of sunshine, the action and movement that nature gives to her "mise en scene".Another quality she got in her later work was that the picture seemed larger than the canvas — larger than it really was.The clouds seemed to continue higher, the landscape to spread out broader, and this was unconscious on the artist's part, she just felt and got it.
