Gunsight Peaks from Lake O'Hara (2012)11" x 14"

SOLD

About the Artwork

Gunsight Peaks from Lake O'Hara is an 11" x 14" acrylic painting by Robert Genn. Painted in 2012, this work captures the rugged drama of the Canadian Rockies as evening light sets the peaks aglow. The iconic Gunsight formation rises steeply at right, its faceted planes of orange and violet contrasted against the cooler blues of the surrounding ranges. Along the base of the slope, a luminous band of alpine larches glows in bright yellow, bringing a vivid warmth to the composition.

In this painting, Genn’s unmistakable approach to design and colour is on full display. Bold strokes of violet, deep indigo, and luminous orange establish harmonic counterpoints that balance grandeur with intimacy. Like many of his Lake O’Hara works, the piece distils a vast mountain panorama into a concentrated panel, honouring the Canadian landscape through clarity of form and a painterly touch that rewards close viewing. This painting is a testament to Genn’s lifelong devotion to capturing the spirit of the wilderness on location.

Accessibility Description

This horizontal painting shows a sweeping mountain vista dominated by rugged alpine peaks. The right side features a steep triangular mountain face painted in warm tones of orange and russet, with grey-white patches suggesting snow or exposed rock. Behind it, layers of distant mountains recede in cooler blue and grey tones, their jagged outlines softened against a pale peach-coloured sky. Across the lower middle of the composition runs a line of slender yellow-green larch trees, glowing brightly against the darker foreground. The bottom portion of the painting is composed of deep blues and purples, broken by bold strokes of brighter colour that suggest rocky ground and shadowed slopes. The brushwork is confident and expressive, with flat passages of colour intersected by linear accents. The overall impression is of late-day light illuminating a high alpine scene, with strong contrasts between glowing foliage, rugged rock faces, and distant mountain silhouettes.
