Sunset Okanagan Hills | 48" x 72" Diptych
About the Artwork
Sunset Okanagan Hills is a 48" × 72" oil on canvas diptych by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1959), comprising two panels hung together, depicting tall pines on a hillside overlooking Okanagan Lake at sunset, with rolling hills and mountains beyond.
The sky spans both panels in bands of blue, orange, and gold, with scattered clouds catching the last warm light of day. Below the horizon, layered ranges of hills in green, gold, and blue recede toward distant mountains. Okanagan Lake occupies the middle distance in tones of blue and teal, its surface broken by streaks of reflected light.
In the foreground, several mature pine and fir trees rise across both panels, their dark green canopies and reddish-brown trunks anchoring the composition against the brighter background. Charlesworth's paint is applied thickly throughout, with visible brushwork describing individual clusters of needles and the textured hillside grasses in gold, orange, and green below.

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.
