Prairie Gold

Here's another
in my grain
elevator series.
It's based on
one of the three
(as far as I know)
still standing
wooden elevators
of Mossleigh, Alberta.

  1. Hi Linny,

    I love these images, and they seem to capture a time when faith in the harvest was secure. They are such beautiful buildings. Gorgeous painting, beautiful light and colour.

  2. What a lovely building! Your images are always a little playful , so may I ask: Is the term "grain elevator" something that really exists or is it part make-believe, Linny? I only know the boring round ones.

  3. Hi there Prairie Princess!... What great fun your colourful... curvilinear "artistic take" on reality is Linny! So joyful and uplifting!

    Art should be about "elevating" the human spirit! All of your work does that usually... but never better than with your grain elevators and lighthouses!

    Great stuff!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

  5. Thank-you, Marie! These grain elevator buildings really do exist (the ones that have survived) and at one time they were all across the prairies. The tall old wooden grain elevators are one of my few memories of the prairies - these ones in my series are a bit "Linnyismed" is shape.

  7. Another spectacular work of gold from Linnyland! You make it look so easy, but I know you are painting masterfully and with joy. I love the way this one leans.

    Really well done.
