About the Artwork
Pedestrian Walterdale is a 30" x 40" acrylic on canvas painting by Fraser Brinsmead. This vibrant piece captures the iconic Walterdale Bridge in Edmonton, Alberta. Below, pedestrians stroll along the pathway, adding a human element to the urban scene. The backdrop is filled with a mix of historic and contemporary buildings, rendered in vibrant colours and meticulous detail against a brilliant blue sky.
Why the Walterdale Bridge?
The Walterdale Bridge is a significant landmark in Edmonton, symbolizing the city's transformation from a frontier settlement to a modern metropolis. Named after John Walter, a Scottish immigrant and pioneer who played a crucial role in Edmonton's early development, the bridge highlights the city's historical and contemporary elements. John Walter was instrumental in the growth of Fort Edmonton and worked closely with the Hudson's Bay Company (H.B.C.), contributing to the community's economic and social fabric.

Fraser Brinsmead revisits the Walterdale Bridge to highlight its architectural beauty and cultural importance. The bridge's elegant design and its ever-changing visual appeal through different seasons and times of day provide endless inspiration for the artist. By capturing the bridge from various perspectives, Brinsmead celebrates Edmonton's identity and evolution, inviting viewers from around the world to appreciate its beauty and significance.

Artwork Care
CARING FOR YOUR ARTWORK
Display
Hang artwork away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and air vents. UV exposure causes fading over time — UV-protective glazing is recommended for works on paper and photography. Avoid hanging artwork above fireplaces or in bathrooms where heat and humidity fluctuate.
Cleaning
Dust frames gently with a soft, dry cloth. Never use household cleaners, water, or solvents on the artwork surface. For oil paintings, a soft-bristle brush can be used lightly to remove surface dust. Professional cleaning is recommended for valuable or delicate pieces.
Temperature & Humidity
Maintain a stable environment — ideally 18–22°C (65–72°F) with 40–55% relative humidity. Rapid changes in temperature or humidity can cause warping, cracking, or flaking. In Alberta’s dry climate, a humidifier can help protect your collection during winter months.
Handling & Moving
Always handle artwork with clean, dry hands or cotton gloves. Carry framed works by the sides of the frame — never by the hanging wire. When transporting, wrap in acid-free tissue or soft blankets and keep upright. For valuable pieces, professional art handlers and custom crating are recommended.
Storage
Store artwork upright in a cool, dry, dark space. Use acid-free materials for wrapping. Never store artwork in attics, basements, or garages where temperature and humidity are uncontrolled.
Insurance
We recommend insuring your art collection. An up-to-date appraisal (every 2–3 years) ensures proper coverage. West End Gallery offers professional appraisal services — please enquire for details.
