Odds and Ends, 1939.

The painting depicts a British Columbia coastal landscape with characteristic Carr elements: towering, stylized evergreen trees with distinctive peaked tops rising against a vibrant blue sky rendered with vertical brushstrokes suggesting rain or atmospheric movement. In the foreground, scattered tree stumps and a small structure occupy a clearing of vivid yellow-green grass, with dark forested mountains in the background. The "odds and ends" of the title refers to the remnants of logging—the stumps and cleared land—showing the impact of human activity on the pristine wilderness Carr spent her career documenting.

Oil on canvas painting by Canadian artist Emily Carr, formerly in the collection of the Greater Victoria Public Library, now in the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. Painting measures 67.4 x 109.5 cm
