About the Artwork

October, Nova Scotia is a 24" × 18" oil on canvas painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955), depicting a residential street in Nova Scotia beneath golden autumn foliage.

The autumn foliage forms a golden canopy above the street, set against a pale sky. A white cottage with a distinctive peaked roof and purple-shadowed walls stands alongside a brick building of warmer tone. Warm autumn light filters through the canopy, creating dappled shadows across the grey pavement below, where scattered fallen leaves mark the changing season. The combination of golden foliage, the white and purple-shaded cottage, and the warmer brick tones ties the composition together in an autumnal palette.

Charlesworth's confident oil technique employs rich impasto application, with visible brushstrokes building substantial texture throughout the composition, particularly in the thick, tactile rendering of the autumn leaves. A tree in the foreground serves as the painting's focal point, its trunk and spreading branches rendered with the same textured paint handling used throughout the canopy. This built-up paint surface gives the foliage a raised, dimensional quality that contrasts with the flatter rendering of the pavement below.

Accessibility Description

This oil painting shows a residential street in autumn. In the background, golden foliage forms a canopy above the street, set against a pale sky. Below the canopy, a white cottage with a peaked roof and purple-shadowed walls stands beside a brick building of a warmer, reddish-brown tone. In the foreground, a large tree serves as the focal point of the composition, its thick trunk and spreading branches extending across the upper portion of the scene. The autumn leaves throughout the canopy and foreground tree are rendered with thick, raised brushwork, giving them a tactile, dimensional surface. Below the tree, the pavement is painted in grey, with dappled patches of shadow and light falling across its surface. Scattered fallen leaves rest on the pavement, marking the season. The overall palette combines the golden tones of the foliage with the white and purple of the cottage, the reddish-brown of the brick building, and the grey of the pavement. No specific figures or vehicles are described in the existing product text, and no signature location is noted.
