Prairie Skies II – 8″ x 10″

“Sunsets and sunrises are beautiful no matter where they are viewed the world wide and each local has its own design on the skies. I’m not sure what sets the sunsets of the Canadian Prairies apart. Is it the gentle rise and fall as the prairies start to give way to the foothills? Or the small towns and their disappearing grain elevators and gravel roads that billow dust behind farm trucks? Maybe it’s the hay bales, the combining in the Autumn evening, and cattle grazing? Is it a storm cloud building after a hot summer day? Whatever it is, these scenes all bring pleasant memories of my childhood. The prairies have a special beauty to them.. and the sunsets are the best.”

Originals are Acrylics on stretched canvas. Hand embellished Giclee prints are also on stretch canvas – 8” x 10”x ½” – protected with acrylic UV resistant varnish. Wired and ready to hang, I finish all edges with black and varnish. Each piece is accompanied by a signed Artist Statement and Bio and “How to take care of your art” instructions.
