Rain Drift | 36" x 40"
About the Artwork
Rain Drift is a 36" × 40" original oil painting on canvas by Steve R. Coffey.
In Rain Drift, rounded white cloud forms span the upper portion of the canvas, breaking into long blue strokes that descend toward a low, open horizon. The rain is broadest and darkest on the right, while paler turquoise and yellow-green passages open near the lower left. Scattered dark marks interrupt the falling bands.
A thin reddish line separates the sky from olive, ochre and brown fields. Along the foreground, short, interwoven strokes introduce rusty orange and deeper green. The clouds are built from heavy curls and ridges of paint; below them, longer downward marks make the rainfall legible. This shift in brush direction distinguishes the clustered cloud bank from the sweeping curtain beneath it.

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.
