  • Notes: The present landscape was a prize winning painting in the San Diego Art Guild's 1915 exhibition held in conjunction with the Panama-California Exposition. According to T.R. Anderson in his essay on the artist published in ''Sunlight and Shadow: The Art of Alfred R. Mitchell, 1888-1972'', ''One other important event takes place in 1915, this one in San Diego at the Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park. Fred has entered a large painting entitled 'Coldwater Canyon, Arrowhead Hot Springs', and it is awarded a silver medal by the jury -- his first, but not his only, award of that year. The San Diego Art Guild holds its own show, in conjunction with the Exposition, and Fred is awarded a prize for a small landscape sketch'' (T.R. Anderson, ''Sunlight and Shadow: The Art of Alfred R. Mitchell, 1888-1972'', Museum of San Diego History, San Diego, CA, 1988, p. 7).
  • Condition: Visual: Minor frame abrasion. Blacklight: Touch-up along the left, right and upper edges to address frame abrasion. Scattered small spots of touch-up throughout.
