Original signed watercolor by Wyoming artist Tim Collins, depicting a serene winter landscape with rolling snow-covered hills, evergreen timber, and a dramatic overcast sky. Executed in Collins' expressive watercolor style, the composition captures the quiet atmosphere and expansive beauty of the Rocky Mountain West through soft washes, restrained color, and confident brushwork. The artwork is professionally matted and framed, measuring approximately 32.5" 25" overall. The reverse preserves an exceptional provenance archive that adds significant historical interest. Included are a newspaper feature profiling Tim Collins as a respected Laramie High School art teacher, documenting his influence as both an educator and practicing artist, along with an original sales receipt dated December 23, 1972 listing a purchase of a snow scene by Tim Collins for $55, plus tax, for a total of $56.65. Also retained is a presentation note reading, "For Ted: Tim Collins was one of your Outrider team baseball coaches in Laramie," establishing a direct personal connection between the artist and the original owner. Tim Collins became well known throughout southeastern Wyoming for his watercolor landscapes, wildlife scenes, and decades of teaching in the Laramie schools. His works are appreciated for their authentic portrayals of Wyoming's scenery and have remained sought after by regional collectors. The preserved documentation accompanying this painting provides an unusually complete provenance, enhancing both its historical significance and collectability. Frame measures approximately 32.5" 25". Light wear consistent with age and display.
