To view image click on "Access Content Now" above Although he is primarily known as a still life or portrait painter, George Glenn is also an accomplished landscape artist. In this richly coloured chalk pastel drawing, “The Park – Prince Albert” he captures a sunny afternoon in a hilltop meadow overlooking a forest in Northern Saskatchewan. His gestural mark-making deftly captures a sense of movement, the wind breezing through the flowers on the hill, and blowing through the pines in the forest. George Glenn (1948- ) was born in Regina, and grew up in the prairie cities of Regina, Winnipeg, and Calgary. He began studying painting at a young age, earning his BFA with honours from the University of Manitoba (1970), and MFA from the University of Cincinnati (1974). In 1975, after spending a year in France, Glenn moved to Prince Albert as artist-in-residence with the Prince Albert Arts Council. Glenn taught at the Prince Albert Regional Community College until 1987, and at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon from 1981 to 1986. Widely respected as a teacher, Glenn continues to paint and lead art workshops in Prince Albert. Glenn’s portraits and work in still-life have been exhibited widely in Western Canada, and are collected in numerous private, public and corporate collections, including the Canada Council Art Bank (Ottawa), MacKenzie Art Gallery, and Royal Bank of Canada
