VIEW ACROSS LOUTIT BAY, 1880
watercolour on paper, 30.5 x 48 cm
Private Collection

Elizabeth Parsons painted this work a little to the west from where she painted 'Loutit Bay', 1879, but captured very much the same view.

The work is much more delicately handled than the oil, and painted in a softer palette. Instead of stockmen, this time she has included several people strolling along the old bush road to the left.
