Burlington Bay by Leonard Hutchinson depicts a stylized representation of a landscape, likely a view of the area around Burlington Bay, which is known to be by Lake Ontario in Canada.

The composition is notable for its use of bold colours and outlines, which give the scene a somewhat graphic quality. The trees are rendered with curving, sinuous lines, giving them a sense of movement and life. The colors are segmented in a way that suggests different planes of depth, with the water rendered in shades of blue and the foreground in purples and blues, creating a vivid contrast with the sky.

The use of colour blocking and the almost abstract interpretation of the trees and water are characteristic of Hutchinson's style, which often incorporates elements of design and a strong sense of form. The scene captures the essence of the bay with a focus on the interaction between land, water, and sky. Hutchinson's signature is present on the painting, confirming his authorship.
