Edmonton, Alberta · Est. 1975

About the Artwork

Great Slave Overlook is a 12" × 16" oil on board painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955), depicting an elevated view across Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories. A rocky foreground and stands of spruce frame open water, small wooded points, and a low distant shoreline beneath a changing sky.

Golden yellow light moves across the lake and lower sky, surrounded by passages of blue, turquoise, violet, orange, and pale green. In the foreground, dark evergreens rise through autumn vegetation painted in olive green, yellow, orange, red, and purple. Charlesworth uses long horizontal strokes across the water and sky, contrasting them with shorter, layered marks in the rocks, trees, and shoreline growth.

Great Slave Lake is one of the largest and deepest lakes in the world. Additional information about the lake and its surrounding landscape is available through Northwest Territories Tourism.

Accessibility Description

A horizontal oil painting on board showing a view from a rocky, forested overlook across a broad lake. Tall evergreen trees occupy the right foreground, with smaller trees and exposed grey rocks at the lower edge. Autumn vegetation appears in olive green, yellow, orange, red, and purple. The lake extends through the centre of the composition in blue, turquoise, violet, and reflected gold, interrupted by small wooded points and islands. A low blue shoreline sits beneath a sky composed of gold, pale yellow, orange, violet, and blue clouds. Horizontal strokes describe the lake and sky, while shorter marks build the trees, rocks, and foreground foliage. No people, buildings, or wildlife are visible.

Artwork Care

CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK

Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.

Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.

Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.

Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.

Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.

Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
