About the Artwork

In the Golden Light is a 20" × 24" oil painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1959) on canvas, depicting a still northern lake at sunset, framed by standing dead trees and a rocky, foliage-covered shoreline.

The composition is dominated by a warm palette of orange, gold, and yellow in the sky, reflected across the calm surface of the lake below. Purple-toned foliage and dark green conifers line the far shore, with a low band of distant forest fading into haze near the horizon. Slender, bare tree trunks rise vertically through the water and along the shoreline, their pale, weathered surfaces contrasting against the darker forest behind them.

Charlesworth's brushwork is loose and gestural, with visible directional strokes describing the reflected light on the water's surface. The foreground rocks and undergrowth are built up with layered patches of orange, red, and green, applied with thicker paint than the more fluid passages in the sky and lake.

Accessibility Description

A horizontal oil painting on canvas showing a lake scene at sunset. The upper half of the painting shows a sky filled with orange, gold, and pale yellow clouds. Below the sky, a band of distant forest appears in hazy blue-green and purple tones along the horizon. The middle of the painting shows a calm lake, its surface reflecting the orange and gold tones of the sky in horizontal streaks. Several bare, pale tree trunks rise vertically out of the water near the centre of the composition. In the foreground, a rocky shoreline is covered with dense low foliage in green, orange, red, and purple. Taller evergreen and deciduous trees with dark green and purple-toned leaves frame the left side of the painting. The brushwork throughout is loose, with visible directional strokes, particularly across the water's surface. No figures or structures are present. No signature is visible in the reviewed images.
