Artist: Rene Thibault (1947 – )

Title: On Lake O’Hara

Date: 2009

Medium: acrylic on canvas

Dimensions: 61.0 x 61.0 cm

Description: General colours of blue, grey, turquoise, violet, pink, green, white, black and brown. The painting is dominated by a frontal view of Mount Yukness as seen from the shoreline of Lake O’Hara. In the foreground is a grey, blue rocky shore with rocks, water and tree trunks. On the viewer’s left are three large dead tree trunks, painted in black, brown, grey and violet, lying on grey rocks interspersed with blue water puddles; the topmost tree trunk has branches, the lower two do not. To the viewer’s right two tree trunks are lying on the rocky shore; the bottom tree trunk, which extends further out in the water, has four branches and beneath this is the artist’s signature “Rene Thibault” in black. About one-quarter up from the shore and tree trunks there are three coniferous trees to the viewer’s left, and then a rock in the water with coniferous trees growing on it. Beyond this, viewer’s left, is the lake and opposite shore; the lake has shadows of black, blue, grey extending to turquoise blue and grey further out and to the opposite shore at the base of Mt. Yukness. Beyond the foreground tree trunks, mid- and to to viewer’s right, darker grey rocks are visible through the water. On the viewer’s right the water becomes more turquoise as it reaches a bank beyond comprised of grey rock, a line of coniferous trees in greens and black, and a few grey tree trunks lying on the shore. The face of Mount Yukness comprises the majority of the painting (top two-thirds). The lower part of the mountain is painted in darker greys and blues except for the moraine from the falls which is light grey. The uppermost part with the Yukness Ledges and peak are painted grey, white, pink and blue. The sky behind is painted in grey with bold strokes of white and lighter greys simulating clouds.
