Fairholme Range Banff — Giclée on Paper ducks and Glen painted it at

and Glen painted it at the peak of its intensity

the bird completely still in the specific stillness of an incubating bird

and Glen met it with the disciplined colour mixing his watercolour technique permitted

A woolly caterpillar on the branch beside the cub adds the note of scale that makes the painting work compositionally

This is a 1988 watercolour and one of Glen's finest single-bird compositions: the goose fills the upper half of the painting

Fairholme Range Banff — Giclée on Paper ducks and Glen painted it atThe Fairholme Range rises directly behind young alpine larch in the foreground the mountain's grey limestone face filling the upper half of the canvas, the larch a vivid fresh green against the cool stone. This is Banff in early summer, when the larches are just leafing out and the mountain still holds winter's grey. Glen rendered it in coloured pencil, the medium's textural quality ideal for the rough surface of the limestone and the feathery needles
