About the Artwork

Autumn Pageant is a 36" × 36" oil on canvas by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1959). His work reflects years of observing seasonal shifts and the varied terrain of western Canada. Charlesworth’s technique brings together small, patterned marks and a confidence shaped by both outdoor observation and long-term studio practice.

The painting depicts a stand of coniferous trees in the foreground, with their trunks and branches defined by dark, linear strokes and lush, layered green foliage. Behind them, a line of yellow and orange deciduous trees leads toward a lake painted with horizontal strokes of blue and green. The background features a vertical arrangement of distant tree forms in muted purple and grey, set against a pale sky composed of minor, deliberately spaced marks. The foreground vegetation is described with grouped strokes of yellow, orange, green, and violet, creating a dense surface across the lower edge.

Accessibility Description

This square-format oil painting shows a forest landscape in autumn. In the background, a pale sky is made of small, closely spaced strokes of cream, yellow, and light purple. Beneath it, tall slender tree forms in muted purple and grey create a vertical pattern across the width of the canvas.

In the middle ground, a line of bright yellow and orange deciduous trees stands in front of a blue-green lake rendered with horizontal brushstrokes. The shoreline and water edge appear as narrow dark lines.

The foreground contains coniferous trees with dark trunks and layered green foliage. Shrubs and ground cover extend across the lower portion, painted with grouped strokes of yellow, orange, green, and violet. Thin pale lines indicate branches and fallen limbs. The artist’s signature appears in the lower right. No figures or buildings are present.

Disclaimer

The interpretation offered here is a curatorial reading of the artwork, developed through study of the artist’s biography, technique, and broader body of work. While grounded in research, it remains one possible way of understanding the piece. Viewers may experience alternative perspectives or insights.

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.
