 | | Graham's Colorado paintings are exceedingly scarce, and are distinguished by a vibrant broken-color impressionism and light handling similar to the work of leading southern California plein air painters of the day. |  | | Stylistically, Graham was a classic American impressionist and highly skilled plein air painter, and although he painted landscapes, still lifes and figural pictures with equal facility, it is in the landscape genre where he achieved the most success, and left his most enduring legacy. |
