Lac Cardinal, Peace River — Bag Insects and Butterflies Text: Glen Warner

Text: Glen Warner

This 1987 watercolour is an exercise in the particular challenge of painting white animals in white settings: the hares are visible only through their shadows

A Red Fox moves through a winter cedar wood — the orange of the fox vivid against the snow

Glen's small songbird studies demonstrate the full breadth of his observational discipline — the kinglet required as much attention as the eagle

The Life Plant earned its common name from exactly this property

Lac Cardinal, Peace River — Bag Insects and Butterflies Text: Glen WarnerGold aspens on the bank of Lac Cardinal on the Peace River the trunks white against the yellow canopy, the lake visible through the trees, the far shore just a blue line across the water. This 1992 coloured pencil landscape is one of Glen's most luminous autumn pieces: the aspens at peak colour, the light coming through the leaves rather than off them, the whole composition built from the interplay of white bark, gold foliage, and blue water.
