About the Artwork

Autumn Pageant is a 36" × 36" oil on canvas painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955), depicting a stand of coniferous trees in the foreground opening onto a lake framed by autumn-coloured deciduous trees and distant tree forms.

Bright yellow and orange deciduous trees stand in a line behind the conifers, leading the eye toward a lake rendered in horizontal strokes of blue and green. Beyond the water, a vertical arrangement of distant tree forms appears in muted purple and grey, set against a pale sky built from small, evenly spaced marks. The foreground vegetation carries a dense mix of yellow, orange, green, and violet, concentrating the warmest colour along the lower edge of the canvas.

Charlesworth defines the coniferous trunks and branches with dark, linear strokes set against lush, layered green foliage built up in overlapping marks. The middle-ground trees and lake are described with smaller, more patterned strokes, while the sky is composed of minor, deliberately spaced touches of colour. In the foreground, shrubs and ground cover are built from grouped strokes of yellow, orange, green, and violet, with thin pale lines describing branches and fallen limbs among the undergrowth.

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, with small breaks of lighter colour suggesting reflected sky. The foreground contains coniferous trees with dark trunks and layered green foliage, their branches overlapping against the brighter colour behind them. 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 scattered among the undergrowth. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner of the canvas. No figures or buildings are present in the composition. A few bare branches cross the lower foreground among the coloured foliage.

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.
