Rail Fences, West Shore Owen Sound Bay by George Thomson is a 16 x 20 inch oil on canvas board that is signed on the bottom left corner as well as signed and titled on the reverse. The oil painting depicts the charming Ontario countryside. A winding path wraps around the shores of a bordering lake. Simple wooden fences line the hill off in the distance, leading the eye into the composition. Thomson uses a combination of orange and green in the foliage surrounding the dirt path, adding a warmth to the scene. Sweeping clouds cover the skyline overhead, painted in a soft mauve that implies an oncoming rain.
