Over the Hills and Far Away — Framed Piece water This 1985 watercolour is deceptively

This 1985 watercolour is deceptively simple: the duck is rendered with complete precision

This is one of Glen's most dramatic and graphic owl portraits — the dark-and-white patterning of the plumage rendered in pure tone

The landscape fills almost the entire canvas

The painting demonstrates Glen's understanding of what makes a landscape painting work without an animal subject: the composition itself must carry the weight
