"Prairie Luminary"

As you may or may not know, my first three years 

were lived in the Canadian prairies 

and my most distinct memories of this time 

are of Fireflies, Prairie Dogs 

and 

GIGANTIC, 

Wooden, 

Grain 

Elevators.

So, it's very exciting when (every now and then) 

someone kindly offers one of their 

grain elevator photos as inspiration for 

a long & leaner Linnyland painting.

Inspiration for this painting of the elevator in Rouleau SASK,

made FAMOUS in the Corner Gas comedy series 

as the "Dog River" elevator,

came from Linnyland Collector 

AND photographer extraordinaire, "Fionnuisce", 

of Arcata California USA.

Thank-you, Fionnuisce!

Once Upon a Prairie Evening (sometimes known as Prairie Evening)

And because we're in Linnyland, where anything is possible,

"O" is for "Once Upon a Prairie Evening" (otherwise known as "Prairie Evening".)

(And, "P" could be for pretend or it could be for prairie evening but it's neither of those...)

Prairie Evening

This is another in the Linnyland long and leaner

grain elevator series.

(As I've mentioned in earlier elevator posts,

these old giants are one my few memories of the prairies.)

This one is of the elevator in Mayerthorpe, Alberta.

Vancouver artist and blogger, Maxine Wolodko,
very kindly sent me photos of her hometown elevator.

Thank-you Maxine and Mayerthorpe!

High Hopes

This one is the latest from

my grain elevator series

(these old wooden buildings are one of my

few memories of the prairies).

This one is a "sunny side of the tracks,

long and leaner".

Thanks to Erik and the Skiff, Alberta elevator

for the inspiration.
