This painting was made during a 1937 trip to Carson City, Nevada. The artist and his third wife, Edith Hamlin, were married at the beginning of the trip. “Dixon cloud pictures for years have been thought of as the best in the Western field. They are one of his trademarks,” writes collector A.P. Hays in his book Space Silence Spirit: Maynard Dixon’s West. “Many collectors of 25 years ago told the Hayses they wouldn’t buy a Dixon without clouds in it.”
