Chapter 30: "Glade and House"

Speaker 0 00:00:00 Chapter 30, glad In House. This chapter describes GLAD in House by Emily Carr, created before 1945 and measuring 89 by 61 centimeters. It is a minute long. Speaker 1 00:00:14 In this scene, tall trees dwarf a simple box cabin built on the edge of a cleared section of the forest. The clearing or glad has been painted in muddy yellows and is dotted with short black tree trunks at this time. Car, the renowned West coast painter used a thin oil paint that is the consistency of cream. The brown paper underneath peaks out between the softly arch brushstrokes of varied greens she has used to depict the branches of the trees or the blue of the sky. These expressive gestures attempt to capture the aliveness of the scene. Though it seems a stark commentary on human impact on the land, though the cabin and its invisible, owner inside seems embold by the trees, who knows how long it will be before they become stumps. What future is the owner of the cabin pondering as they stand looking out of those two tiny windows taking in the smells of the air and trees all around them?
