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!

    Oh, the fantastic glow in this beautifully painted work!

    I really enjoy that magical, Linnyland light.

    Stay warm! Spring is on the way.

    Hi there Linny!.... Another lovely Prairie Cathedral.... soaring... soaring!

    I love the playful contrast that you have developed between the verticality of the elevator... and the feeling of limitless prairie space with your linear bands of sky and boards.

    Your inclusion of the wonderfully... warm glowing palette and the presence of those railway tracks... to "deliver " the eye to the elevator say everything there is to say about the prairie landscape for me! A gem!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

    Linny, I love your grain elevator series. You make them so unique. Wish I could peel back your hair and see in that head of yours! Your visions are so wonderful!
