Off to the Rink | 12" x 24"
About the Artwork
Off to the Rink is a 12" x 24" acrylic painting on panel by Peter Wyse. Known for his whimsical style and layered technique, Wyse captures the charm of everyday Canadian life with humour and warmth. In this scene, a young boy in a hockey jersey and cap heads off to the rink, skates slung over his shoulder and stick in hand, while an elderly neighbour strolls past with his dog. The brightly coloured houses and stylized tree add playful character to the neighbourhood setting.
Wyse’s process of layering and sanding acrylic paint creates rich textures and subtle depth within his flat, illustrative style. His palette of soft blues, greens, and warm earth tones highlights the lively characters and gives the work a lighthearted spirit. With its blend of nostalgia and community spirit, this piece celebrates the small moments that connect generations and bring joy to everyday routines.

Accessibility Description
The painting is a rectangular 12" x 24" panel with a stylized, cartoon-like composition. Against a pale blue sky, three small houses line the background. The central house is teal with a blue door, flanked by a golden tree to the right and additional houses with peaked roofs in grey and white. In the foreground, two figures and a dog occupy the sidewalk. On the left, an older man with a grey moustache, black hat, red sweater, and dark trousers walks a white dog with black spots. The dog faces right, tail raised, tongue slightly out. To the right, a young boy in a blue and orange hockey jersey, striped pants, and ball cap strides toward the right edge, carrying a hockey stick over his shoulder and a pair of skates hanging from it. The simple, rounded forms and softened edges emphasize playfulness and clarity, while the flat green strip of grass and grey sidewalk provide grounding. The artist’s name, “WYSE,” appears in white in the lower right corner.We believe in transparency. Review our Terms of Service, Return Policy, and Shipping Policy. Have questions?
