Workhorse by Wilkie Kilgour is a 10 x 14 inch oil on board produced circa 1920 and signed in the bottom right corner. The painting depicts a winter landscape with a man walking alongside his horse, pulling a simple cart stacked with logs. The two walk shoulder to shoulder up a dirt path. Rolling hills span off into the distance as the sun sets in the background and the tired duo returns home from their long day of work. Kilgour uses a complimentary palette of warm earth tones and vibrant blues to capture the scene. Brilliant white snow is spattered throughout the composition, drawing the eye into the painting. There is a calm and tranquility to the piece and a warmth that resonates from Kilgour’s thoughtful use of colour.
