Evening Camp-Blackfoot Res is a very painterly, Sharp characterized by impasto reflections and rhythmic repetitions of forms and colors. Among low, brushy trees, triangular tepees, wedded to their mirror images in the water, become shimmering diamonds. Behind the four most prominent tepees, four peaks of the distant mountains echo their shapes with uncanny precision. Above, blues, pinks, purples and yellows undulate across the sunset sky. One figure, robed in dark red from head to foot and reflected in the water, stands outside the tepee at left. Like the sun, this last figure, last person, heads in for the night. Soon, like darkness, the murmur of silence will settle over the camp and the land and the rhythms of day will gave way to the meter of night.
