Five separate paintings make up this group, each turning to a different stretch of Western North Carolina's mountain country rather than a single peak. The Great Smokies, whose ridges take their name from the blue haze that often hangs over them, tie the set together. Painters drawn to these slopes were capturing a landscape that drew growing numbers of visitors, and the land was later protected when Great Smoky Mountains National Park was established in 1934.
