Description
Drawing
This image depicts a winter scene with a chalet on Grouse Mountain, one of the North Shore Mountains overlooking Vancouver, B.C. The mountain is now the site of an alpine ski area, Grouse Mountain Resort, and in summer offers many recreational options.
Only part of the large multi-story chalet with a verandah is shown with tall evergreen trees in the background, all covered in heavy snow. It is a grisaille, a painting executed in shades of grey and other neutral greyed colours.
