About the Artwork

Mountains, Trees and a Shinny Game is a 18" × 24" oil on canvas painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955), depicting children playing shinny hockey on a frozen pond framed by evergreen trees and distant mountains.

The scene is built from cool blues and whites across the ice and snow, framed by the dark green of the evergreen trees on either side. The distant mountains appear in pale blue-grey tones beneath a light sky, while the log cabin in the middle ground carries small areas of warm brown and yellow. The snow banked around the pond's edge picks up soft violet shadow beneath the trees.

Charlesworth uses dense, layered strokes of dark green to build the evergreen trees framing the pond, with lighter strokes of white describing snow caught on the branches. The ice surface is rendered with short, blended strokes of blue and white, while the distant mountains are painted with softer, more blended colour. The hockey players are depicted as small, simplified figures in coloured winter clothing.

Accessibility Description

This oil painting depicts a game of shinny hockey on a mountain pond. In the upper portion of the canvas, pale blue-grey mountains rise along the horizon beneath a light sky. A log cabin with a smaller outbuilding sits in the middle ground near the treeline, with a wooden fence nearby. Tall evergreen trees, heavily laden with snow, frame both the left and right edges of the composition, their dark green branches contrasting with the white snow they carry. In the foreground, a frozen pond fills the lower portion of the painting. Several children in colourful winter clothing play hockey across the ice, gathered near the centre of the pond with hockey sticks visible. A figure with a sled stands near the pond's edge at right, and a small group of adults is visible near the cabin. The ice surface is rendered in layered blue, white, and pale grey tones, suggesting reflected light and texture beneath the skaters. Snow-covered ground surrounds the pond in the foreground corners. The artist's signature appears in the lower portion of the canvas.
