A Canada Lynx turns mid-stride in deep snow, yellow eyes catching the viewer, the enormous snowshoe paws sinking only slightly into the drifted surface. This 1983 watercolour is one of Glen's most celebrated winter mammal paintings — the lynx's silver-grey coat painted with the kind of botanical patience he usually reserved for feather studies, every hair of the dense winter fur placed with intention.
Glen observed lynx during winter fieldwork in Ontario's boreal forests, tracking their movements across pressure ridges and windblown snowfields. The tufted ears, the dense facial ruff, the disproportionate paws evolved for exactly this terrain — all of it is anatomically precise and emotionally alive.

As an owner of the Canada Linx print I am so delighted and love it very much even after more than twenty five years of having it hanging on my wall. Still looks as beautiful as the day I bought it. I bought it in a store and it was beautifully framed. I think if I can remember correctly she costed under $100.00 framed. Interested in more prints of the same nature but not seeing any yet. Have to keep checking.
Natalia, my apologies for the slow reply, and thank you for such a lovely review.
Twenty-five years on the wall and still looking as it did the day you bought it is exactly what my father hoped for when he chose the materials he did.
You mentioned you were looking for more in the same vein and were not finding them. I am sorry you were left looking. Let me help directly.
If it was the cats that drew you, there is a real body of work there: Stalking Lynx, the Canada Lynx portrait, Cougar, Bobcat Kitten, Snow Leopard Cub and Jaguar Cub. If it was more the northern feeling of the Lynx, then the owls and the winter landscapes sit in the same register.
Tell me which direction appeals and I will send you a short list rather than leaving you to hunt through the whole catalogue. You can reach me directly through the website.
