About the Artwork

Shine is a 16" x 16" acrylic painting by Peter Wyse created on board. This original painting captures the innocent joy of childhood hockey dreams through Wyse's signature whimsical style. Dressed in the crisp white away jersey of the Edmonton Oilers, the cheerful character stands on a frozen pond beneath a starry night sky, embodying every young fan's dream of being their hockey hero, Zach Hyman, skating toward victory.

Peter Wyse's meticulous technique of applying acrylic paint in multiple layers creates wonderful dimension throughout the composition. The character's bright expression—rosy cheeks, gleaming eyes, and an enthusiastic smile—radiates pure childhood joy against the deep cobalt blue background dotted with creamy white stars. The vibrant colour palette balances the cool blues of the night sky and ice with the warm orange accents of the Oilers' team colours. Wyse carefully rendered each element, from the detailed Oilers logo on the jersey to the character's hockey stick and puck on the ice. The silhouetted evergreens along the horizon add depth to the scene while gently framing the character. The clean, defined edges of Wyse's style give the painting a distinctive, almost storybook quality. At the same time, his skillful use of light and shadow creates a magical atmosphere that perfectly captures that moment when childhood imagination transforms an ordinary pond into a professional arena with thousands of cheering fans.

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.
