Shelter in Bloom | 36" x 48"

About the Artwork

Shelter in Bloom is a 36" x 48" oil painting by Richard Cole created on canvas. Inspired by his upbringing in Edmonton, Alberta, this oil painting showcases Cole's remarkable talent and reflects his deep connection to the Canadian landscape and rural heritage. A red barn, an icon of agricultural life, stands solitary amidst a vast field of blooming canola under a dramatic, cloud-filled sky. The red barn, a practical and historical choice by farmers, symbolizes simplicity, hard work, and a deep connection to the land.

The vibrant yellow of the canola fields creates a striking visual contrast that captures the viewer's eye. The deliberate small scale of the barn within the vast canola field enhances the realism and invites viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquil rural landscape. This piece exemplifies Richard Cole's unique ability to blend personal history with artistic expression.
