About the Artwork

Dad Let Us Use the Truck is a 24" × 36" oil on canvas by Peter Shostak (b. 1943) created on canvas. The composition shows a winter night hockey scene on a flooded prairie rink, with a truck parked on the road beyond the ice.

Beyond the rink, open snow-covered fields extend toward a low horizon. Frosted trees cluster at left and right, framing the broad expanse of land. Above, the sky occupies nearly half the painting and is rendered in deep blue with scattered stars, while the open band of lighter blue near the horizon sets off the rink and road below.

Accessibility Description

This horizontal painting shows a winter night landscape with an outdoor hockey rink set within open prairie land. The overall composition is divided between a large dark blue sky above and a snow-covered field below. In the background, flat fields stretch across the horizon from left to right. The horizon line sits low in the painting. Frosted trees form dense clusters on both sides, with a broader stand at left and a narrower band at right. A pale strip of road runs across the midground behind the rink. A small truck with a dark body and bright red side panels is parked on the road near the right side. In the midground, the hockey rink occupies the centre of the painting. The ice is pale blue and grey. A line of players stands and skates across the rink, each holding a hockey stick. A low wooden board or rink edge appears near the right side of the ice. In the foreground, snow-covered grasses and fence posts frame the lower edge, especially at right. The ice curves toward the lower left corner, and the snow around it is marked with soft blue shadows. Small stars are scattered across the sky. The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner.
