About the Artwork

Shades of Winter Fun is a 12" × 36" oil on canvas painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955), depicting children ice skating on a frozen pond, with a horse-drawn sleigh and a snow-covered village beyond.

The composition is built from cool blues across the snow and ice, set against a clear blue sky. The village houses in the background carry small areas of warm colour — yellow, pink, and orange siding — that stand out against the surrounding white and blue tones. The frozen pond in the foreground is rendered in layered blues and whites, with darker blue shading marking the texture of the ice beneath the skaters.

Charlesworth builds the snow and ice with short, layered strokes of white, pale blue, and grey, creating texture across the pond and the surrounding hillside. The village houses and trees are rendered with smaller, more compact marks, while the sleigh and skating figures are painted as simplified blocks of colour with minimal detail. The evergreen trees at the left edge are built from dense, dark green strokes contrasting with their snow-covered branches.

Accessibility Description

This wide, horizontal oil painting shows a winter village scene. In the upper portion, a clear blue sky stretches across the composition. Below the sky, a village sits along the top of a snow-covered hill: a white church with a steeple stands at the centre, flanked by houses painted in yellow, pink, and orange. Bare and snow-covered evergreen trees surround the buildings. A path leads from the village down the hill, where a horse-drawn sleigh carrying several bundled passengers makes its way toward the foreground. The hillside is covered in thick white and pale blue snow, its surface built from layered brushstrokes. In the lower portion of the painting, a frozen pond occupies the foreground, its surface a mix of blue, white, and grey tones. Several children in colourful winter clothing skate across the ice in pairs and small groups, their bodies rendered as small, simplified figures. Tall evergreen trees with snow-laden branches stand at the left edge of the composition, framing the scene. The artist's signature appears in the lower left corner of the canvas.
