This coloured pencil landscape is one of Glen's most architecturally ambitious: the mountain's limestone face rendered with the same disciplined attention he brought to animal anatomy

this is one of his finest and most emblematic landscape works

Garter Snake and Grasshopper — Gallery Canvas Wrap Color:White a second male in transitionalA garter snake strikes upward at a grasshopper in mid flight the snake's body coiled on a sandy bank, the yellow striped scales rendered scale by scale, the mouth open wide, the grasshopper's wings spread at the moment of attempted escape. This is one of Glen's earliest known works, signed 1963, and it already demonstrates the observational discipline that would define his career: the snake's anatomy is exact, the grasshopper's wing venation visible.
