The composition presents a winter night hockey scene on a flooded prairie rink, with a snow-covered road leading down from the foreground to the ice and vehicles parked on either side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt centre, a band of bright light stretches across the ice where a line of players moves through a game of hockey. A pale vehicle is parked to the left of the rink and a red truck stands at the right, reinforcing the title’s plainspoken statement that the players have a ride home waiting nearby. Beyond the rink, low fields and distant hills extend across the horizon in subdued blues and greys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper half of the painting is occupied by a dark blue night sky filled with closely set stars. Shostak balances the large expanse of sky with the narrow illuminated strip of activity below, using the contrast between the open prairie and the concentrated area of play to define the structure of the scene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDimensions and Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eNo One Has to Walk Home\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/peter-shostak\"\u003ePeter Shostak\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30\" × 30\" (76.2 × 76.2 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium:\u003c\/strong\u003e Oil on canvas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Presented in a black frame with a light-coloured mat, ready to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAcquisition Enquiries\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo One Has to Walk Home\u003c\/em\u003e is offered through West End Gallery.

The upper half of the composition is filled with a very dark blue sky covered with many small stars. Below the sky, pale blue and grey fields stretch across the distance, with low hills and tree lines running along the horizon. At the centre of the painting, a rectangular outdoor hockey rink is brightly lit against the surrounding snow. A line of small figures stands and moves across the ice. Two vehicles are parked near the rink, one pale-coloured at left and one red at right. On both sides of the field, tall thin leafless trees rise in loose vertical groups. In the foreground, a snow-covered road curves down from the lower edge of the painting toward the rink. Parallel tire tracks are pressed into the road and remain visible through the snow. Fence posts, reddish-brown brush, and patches of dry grass appear along both sides of the road. The contrast between the dark sky, the pale snow, and the lit rink makes the centre activity easy to locate. The artist’s signature appears in the lower right corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- Provenance --\u003e\n\u003cdetails aria-label=\"Full provenance information\" class=\"provenance-details\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFull Provenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable on request.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c!-- Disclaimer --\u003e\n\u003cdetails aria-label=\"Disclaimer\" class=\"disclaimer\"\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisclaimer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis description has been prepared by West End Gallery using original documentation and current scholarship.
