Love Going to Alberta | 30" x 40"
About the Artwork
Love Going to Alberta is a 30" x 40" acrylic painting on panel by Peter Wyse. In this playful work, Wyse celebrates the charm of Alberta’s wide-open landscapes. Two elk fill the foreground, their large antlers nearly touching as they stand against a pale green field. A third elk grazes in the distance, while a bright red pickup truck travels along the horizon, framed by dark evergreens and the sharp, snow-capped Rocky Mountains.
Wyse’s distinctive layering technique creates smooth surfaces and gentle textures, giving his folk-inspired imagery a polished clarity. His palette of earthy browns and soft greens is enlivened by the bold red of the truck and the crisp blue of the sky, adding a joyful contrast to the composition. With its lighthearted subject matter and stylized detail, the painting captures both the humour and warmth of Wyse’s practice while evoking a fond sense of road trips, wildlife, and prairie-to-mountain vistas that define Alberta.

Accessibility Description
The painting is a 30" x 40" rectangular panel depicting three stylized caribou in a broad open field. In the foreground, two large caribou face one another, their rounded bodies painted in brown with pale tan backs. Their wide antlers extend across the composition, nearly touching in the centre. Both animals have oversized, expressive eyes and dark hooves. In the middle ground to the left, a third caribou bends its head down to graze. Behind them, a dark band of evergreen forest stretches across the horizon, topped by jagged white and blue mountain peaks. Above, the sky is clear and bright blue. To the right on the horizon, a small red pickup truck drives across the flat field, its vivid colour standing out against the greens and blues. The artist’s name, “WYSE,” appears in white in the lower left corner.Shipping & Exchanges

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.
