About the Artwork

On a Quiet Street is a 12" × 16" oil on panel painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955), depicting a row of houses along a quiet, snow-covered residential street.

The houses are painted in warm tones of yellow, orange, red, and grey-purple, set against a blue sky that carries soft streaks of pink and orange near the horizon. Bare trees with snow-dusted branches stand in front of the houses, their dark trunks contrasting with the pale sky. Snow covers the ground and rooftops in white and pale blue tones.

Charlesworth applies thick, textured strokes to build the snow along the rooftops and ground, with visible ridges of paint catching light across the composition. The houses are rendered with flatter, more defined blocks of colour, while the bare tree branches are described with thin, dark, layered lines against the sky. The parked cars in the foreground are painted with simplified, compact strokes, and the wooden fence is built from short horizontal marks of brown and grey.

Accessibility Description

This oil painting on panel, shown in a wood-toned frame, depicts a row of houses along a snow-covered street. In the upper portion of the canvas, a blue sky carries soft streaks of pink and orange near the horizon. Bare trees with snow-dusted branches rise in front of the houses, their dark trunks visible against the sky. A yellow and red house sits at the centre of the composition, flanked by a cream-coloured house to the left and a purple-blue house to the right. Snow covers the rooftops and chimneys in thick white paint, with icicle-like drips of pale paint along some of the eaves. A wooden fence runs along the front of the properties, partially covered in snow. In the foreground, two cars are parked on the snow-covered street, one dark-coloured and one yellow. Small figures are visible walking near the houses and along the fence line. The street surface is built from layered strokes of white, grey, and pale blue. The artist's signature appears in the lower portion of the canvas. A light dusting of snow rests on the fence posts and along the edge of the road.

Artwork Care

CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK

Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.

Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.

Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.

Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.

Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.

Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
