Red Barns: Cowboy Clouds | 18" x 72"
About the Artwork
Red Barns: Cowboy Clouds is an 18" × 72" original oil on canvas painting by Dana Irving.
Red Barns: Cowboy Clouds unfolds across a six-foot panoramic canvas, using the long format to emphasize the breadth of the prairie. Red barns anchor the far ends of the composition while smaller buildings, trees, fence posts and hay bales establish a sequence of forms across rolling yellow-green fields. Irving keeps the distant blue-grey mountains close to the horizon, leaving an expansive turquoise sky for a procession of rounded white clouds. Their repeated shapes echo the hay bales below and create a visual rhythm across the width of the painting. Strong red, yellow, green and blue colour relationships hold the many elements together, while the low horizon and extended proportions give both field and sky an unusually generous presence.

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.
