About the Artwork

Dene Winter is a 16" × 16" oil on canvas painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955), depicting a small Northern winter community beneath a vivid, multicoloured evening sky.

The upper half of the composition is dominated by sweeping bands of red, orange, yellow, and purple across the sky, contrasting with the cooler blues and whites of the snow below. The houses carry warm accents of brown, green, and red, with smoke rising from their chimneys in pale grey strokes against the colourful sky. The snow in the foreground picks up soft reflections of the sky's warm tones.

Charlesworth builds the sky with long, wavelike strokes of red, orange, and purple, blended together across the upper portion of the canvas. The snow in the foreground is rendered with thick, textured strokes of white and pale blue, while the houses are painted with more compact, flattened blocks of colour. The three figures in the foreground are described as small, simplified silhouettes against the snow.

Rod Charlesworth is a Canadian painter based in the Okanagan Valley, British Columbia. Largely self-taught, with early studies at Okanagan College, his practice developed from an initial interest in Surrealism toward Impressionism. His subject matter spans landscapes and community scenes across Western and Northern Canada, with attention to colour and paint handling. Charlesworth's work is held in corporate and private collections in Canada and the United States and is represented by galleries across the country. Dene Winter reflects his continued attention to Northern communities and their winter skies.

Accessibility Description

This square oil painting shows a small winter community beneath a vividly coloured sky. The upper half of the canvas is filled with sweeping bands of red, orange, yellow, and purple, suggesting either sunset or aurora light. Below the sky, a dark treeline runs along the horizon. A cluster of houses sits in the middle ground: a brown house at left with a small blue shed nearby, and a green house at centre with a red truck parked beside it. A smaller red house appears at the right edge of the composition. Thin poles rise from the rooftops, with pale grey smoke drifting from the chimneys into the sky. A curved snow-covered path leads from the houses toward the foreground, marked with faint tracks. In the foreground, three figures stand together in the snow, viewed from behind, facing toward the village. Thick white and pale blue snow covers the ground in broad, textured strokes, with the colours of the sky reflected faintly across its surface. The artist's signature appears in the lower right corner of the canvas.
