Gentle Drift | 30" x 36"

About the Artwork

Gentle Drift is a 30" x 36" oil painting by Steve R. Coffey completed on canvas. Coffey captures the serene stillness of the Canadian prairie beneath a stunning sky, where sculptural clouds drift gracefully over a pastoral scene of farmsteads and meandering roads. This piece showcases the artist's method of transforming his "Memory Polaroids" into "nature's abstraction," offering a meditative view of the prairie that reflects the tranquility and rhythms of rural Canadian life.

The striking sky, depicted in radiant whites and soft blues through expert impasto, gives the clouds a three-dimensional quality as they swirl across the canvas. Coffey's sculptural paint application captures the atmosphere's weight and motion, making it seem as if the clouds are moving across the prairie in real time. Below, gentle waves of golden fields and rolling hills are interspersed with clusters of trees and geometric farmland shapes. A winding road guides the viewer toward distant farm structures, recalling generations of prairie settlers. The contrast between the grand sky and the intimate landscape fosters a sense of place and belonging, celebrating the calm beauty that defines the Canadian prairie experience.
