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.

I was born in Saskatchewan

and came to BC at age three, so I have

limited memories of

the prairies, but I do remember the

giant grain elevators. I've had an urge to paint

some of the old style wooden ones

and I've been asking people

who travel to the prairies to bring me back photos

of these rare old giants. The photo

that I used as a reference for

this painting came to me

courtesy of Shelley from her visit

to Elbow, Saskatchewan. Thank-you, Shelley!
