A.J. Casson’s Old Driveway Shed, Quebec is a 1970s Christmas card of a spare, atmospheric graphite drawing of a rural shed set against a wooded hillside. The building sits low in the composition, its long roof carrying patches of snow and dark shadow. Casson uses clean, economical linework to define the shed’s simple geometry, with the dark openings along the front giving weight and rhythm to the otherwise pale winter scene.

Behind the shed, a line of evergreens rises sharply, leading into a larger hill or rocky ridge in the background. The trees are handled with varied pencil textures: some are drawn with delicate vertical strokes, while others are built up with denser shading. This gives the landscape a sense of layered depth, moving from the open snowy foreground to the darker woods and then to the softly modelled hill beyond.

The foreground is lightly sketched, with faint tracks or roadway marks leading toward the structure. Casson avoids heavy detail, allowing the subject to feel quiet and remembered rather than fully described. The drawing has the character of a careful travel sketch or field study, recording the forms of rural Quebec architecture with restraint, clarity, and affection.
