Two Common Loons on a Shield lake as a summer storm passes — the sky still dramatic with departing cloud, a rainbow arc visible at the upper left, the granite shore and mixed boreal forest reflected in the rain-smoothed water. This is one of Glen's most ambitious and complete landscape-and-wildlife compositions: the loons are painted with their characteristic precision, but the painting is equally about the storm-washed light on the lake, the specific character of the Shield shoreline, the clearing sky above.
The rainbow, the rain-dimpled water, the way the light breaks through behind the cloud: all of it is observed with the same discipline Glen brought to his animal subjects.
