About the Artwork

Hill Travel is a 40" × 60" oil on canvas painting by Steve R. Coffey. A freight train makes its way across the prairie horizon, its linked cars stretching beneath a vast sky where thick clouds gather and shift. Coffey captures a moment where human movement and natural forces share the landscape, the train's steady passage measured against the rolling hills and cultivated fields that extend toward distant horizons.

The sky dominates the composition with heavy impasto clouds built in whites, blues, and soft greens. Coffey's brushwork creates visible ridges and swirls that follow the cloud formations across the upper canvas. Below, the landscape unfolds in horizontal bands: blue-grey hills rise along the horizon, a line of trees marks the middle distance, and the train travels past with its dark locomotive pulling pale freight cars. The foreground fields are rendered in layered strokes of brown, green, and ochre, their textured surfaces catching light where the paint stands highest.

Accessibility Description

A horizontal prairie landscape painting with sky occupying approximately two-thirds of the canvas. The sky shows thick clouds in whites, blues, and pale greens with heavy visible brushstrokes creating swirling patterns. The background shows blue-grey rolling hills across the horizon. Below the hills, a row of green trees stretches horizontally. A freight train with multiple cars moves from left to right between the hills and trees, with a dark red-brown locomotive pulling pale blue and grey freight cars. The foreground presents cultivated fields in browns, tans, and greens with horizontal striations suggesting plowed rows. Paint is applied thickly throughout, creating raised textured surfaces across the entire canvas.

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.
