About the Artwork

Rain Drift is a 36" × 40" oil painting on canvas by Steve R. Coffey. Heavy blue and grey cloud forms hang above a low reddish-brown horizon. Vertical streaks and descending marks suggest rain crossing the open landscape.

Dense impasto shapes the upper clouds, while long blue, white, and grey strokes extend downward through the middle of the canvas. The comparatively flat ground line stabilizes the composition.

Accessibility Description

A near-square horizontal landscape painting dominated by a large storm cloud. A thin reddish-brown band of land runs along the bottom, edged by a dark line at the horizon. Above it, the sky is filled with layered blue, grey, white, mauve, and charcoal paint. The darkest cloud mass sits left of centre and spreads across the upper half. Lighter rounded clouds gather along the upper right and top edge. Long vertical and diagonal streaks of blue, grey, and white descend from the central cloud toward the land, suggesting rainfall seen at a distance. Small dark marks are scattered through the falling rain. The paint surface is thick and irregular, especially in the cloud forms, where overlapping strokes create raised edges. Brighter turquoise and pale blue appear in the lower left sky, while muted cream and pink-grey soften parts of the upper clouds. No buildings, trees, or figures are visible; the low horizon leaves the weather as the central subject.

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.
