About the Artwork

Walsh Lake Shore, NWT is a 20" × 30" oil on canvas painting by Rod Charlesworth (b. 1955), depicting a remote autumn lake landscape in the Northwest Territories.

The autumn foliage is painted in golden yellows and vibrant purple, set beneath a sky carrying hints of white cloud. The lake itself is rendered in deep blue, its calm surface interrupted by a glow of light bouncing off the water, creating a sparkling effect across its surface. Together, the golden and purple tones of the foliage and the deep blue of the water suggest the changing weather conditions over the lake.

Charlesworth applies thick, impasto brushwork throughout the foliage, building up a tangible texture and dimension across the canvas surface. This paint handling gives the autumn colours a raised, textured quality, contrasting with the smoother rendering of the lake's calm blue water and its glowing highlight. The technique adds depth to the composition, distinguishing the textured shoreline vegetation from the more even surface of the water beyond.

Accessibility Description

This oil painting shows a lake shoreline in autumn. In the upper portion of the composition, the sky carries hints of white cloud. In the middle distance, a lake occupies much of the composition, painted in deep blue, its calm surface broken by a glow of light bouncing off the water, creating a sparkling effect. In the foreground, autumn foliage lines the shoreline, painted in golden yellow and vibrant purple tones. The paint across the foliage is applied thickly, in a raised, textured manner that gives the leaves a tangible surface quality. The water, by comparison, is rendered more smoothly, with the glowing highlight as its most textured passage. The overall palette combines the golden yellow and purple of the shoreline foliage with the deep blue of the lake and the pale white of the clouds above. No specific figures, buildings, or wildlife are described in the existing product text, and no signature location is noted. The composition is built around the contrast between the textured, colourful shoreline and the smoother, reflective surface of the lake water.
