inscription on back by E.J. Hughes reads:
“The Kootenay River, East of Cranbrook.” E.J. Hughes. May, 1977.In the summer of 1967, my wife Fern and I stayed for a week at a motel in Cranbrook, B.C., while I sketched the nearby scenery. One day, while driving east towards Fernie, B.C., I noticed a valley view which was very sketchable. There was, fortunately, a wide place to pull off the highway, so I was able to make a pencil sketch of the subject, with colour written in from which I just now produced the above painting.

inscription on back by E.J. Hughes reads:
“Ship at a Wharf, Crofton, B.C.” E.J. Hughes 1980
There is a “Visitors’ Viewpoint” at the pulp mill and loading wharves at Crofton, on Vancouver Island, where the public can drive in and park cars and have a fine view of as many as three deep-sea freighters at a time loading lumber, etc., at the wharves. The views can be seen from the cars, which is most welcome on a rainy day. The distant land mass is Salt Spring Island, largest of the Gulf Islands.
