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'm a visual artist living in Victoria BC Canada. I paint in either acrylic or oil in what is described as "a visit to a dream" style and/or Linnyism. To me, the visual world is a beautiful combination of colors, shapes and light swirling together in rhythmic patterns that feel like a mixture of Robert Gordon's "I Want to be Free" and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World". When I paint I bring my interpretation of this beauty to the canvas. Welcome to Linnyland and thank-you for looking at my interpretations.

Hi Linny,
ReplyDeleteI 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.

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.
ReplyDeleteHi there Prairie Princess!... What great fun your colourful... curvilinear "artistic take" on reality is Linny! So joyful and uplifting!
ReplyDeleteArt 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
Thank-you, Barbara, and happy harvest season to you!
ReplyDeleteThank-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.
ReplyDeleteHah! You make me laugh, Bruce! I've never been called a Praire Princess before but I quite like it! Thank-you for your tall, thoughtful and creative comments!!!
ReplyDeleteAnother 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.
