Just Taking a Little Rest | 8" x 10"
About the Artwork
Just Taking a Little Rest is an 8" x 10" oil painting by Peter Shostak created on canvas. Shostak, celebrated for his portrayals of prairie life and winter traditions, draws from his childhood memories to capture the warmth of community during the long Canadian winter nights.
In this winter night scene, a group of children sit on their toboggans partway up a snowy hill, pausing after the thrill of sliding down. The star-filled sky's deep blue contrasts with the snow's glowing white, emphasizing stillness and play. Shostak's palette of cool blues and soft whites conveys the crisp air of prairie winters, while the children's bright toques add warmth and familiarity. By focusing on this quiet pause, the artist underscores the significance of small childhood moments — a simple rest that becomes part of a cherished memory.

Accessibility Description
This painting by Peter Shostak shows a snowy winter night beneath a dark blue, star-filled sky. On a sloping hill in the foreground, several children sit on wooden toboggans, resting after sliding. Their red toques and colourful clothing stand out against the snow. The frozen ground stretches upward, with tall evergreens rising on both sides of the hill. In the distance, more children appear with sleds, their small forms framed against the snowy expanse. The scene conveys a pause in play, with the children just taking a little rest before continuing down the hill.
