Swanson Channel, Gulf Islands, B.C., C. 1980 by Henry Glyde is an 11 x 15 watercolour painting signed on the upper right corner. Overlooking a sunny afternoon in British Columbia, a standout figure walks towards a person overlooking the rock formations collected beside the water.
Prepared for the weather ahead with a detailed depiction of a red raincoat, both are enjoying a mild afternoon where the cloud paint strokes are dominating the horizon above, creating a balance of air and light. In the distance are misty blue mountains distinguishable from the West Coast. Glyde’s strong theme of figures interacting with the Canadian landscape is poignant here.
