This Year the Small Pond Did Not Dry Up | 40" x 36"

About the Artwork

This Year the Small Pond Did Not Dry Up is a 40x36 inch oil painting by acclaimed Canadian artist Peter Shostak. This piece beautifully captures a serene winter moment on the prairie, where the persistence of a small pond through the dry summer months brings joy to the local children as winter sets in.

The artwork features a vivid depiction of youth in motion, with children happily playing hockey on the frozen pond set against the golden hues of a winter sunset. The rustic hay bales in the foreground add depth and contrast and speak to the hard labour typical of rural life. The background, with its softly lit farmhouse and snow-covered trees under a pastel sky, offers a warm, inviting atmosphere juxtaposing the chilly scene.
