About the Artwork

It’s a Long Walk Home is an 8" x 10" oil painting by Peter Shostak created on canvas. Shostak is known for preserving memories of prairie life, where winter landscapes become the stage for childhood play and community traditions.

The painting opens onto a wide snowy field under a deep blue, star-filled sky. Round bales dot the foreground, while a frozen clearing in the distance is alive with children playing hockey. Their figures appear small against the vast winter night, emphasizing both the joy of the game and the long journey home ahead. The title underscores the endurance of childhood evenings when play stretched late, no matter the distance waiting afterward. Shostak captures not only the prairie landscape but also the resilience and spirit of the children who brought it to life.
