Landscape , 1940
8.5 x 11.5 in (h x w)
Watercolor with graphite

Landscape was a frequent subject of Hatton's paintings, many painted en plein air in oil or watercolor. Hatton enjoyed driving in the mountains of her adopted Colorado home, and she kept her paint box in the trunk of her car so she could stop to paint a good scene. Pine and Aspens was painted in the late 1930s from the step of a cabin that her sister's family had rented in Buffalo Creek. The canyon landscape portrayed in the oil painting nearby might be Poudre Canyon just outside of Fort Collins, while the watercolor likely comes from Sheldon Lake in City Park, before the addition of a swimming pool on the northwest side.
