Colburn made landscapes of the rolling hills around Carmel and Salinas valleys, as well, landscapes that embodied the poetic yearning of Robinson Jeffers. Jeffers Territory (1942) shows Colburn’s tremendous feeling for the land--the haunting, sublime beauty of the coastal terrain and the surging restlessness of the sea. He filled his landscapes with voids and mists, out of which freely arose his forms and structural elements.
