About the Artwork

Snow Train is a 20" × 36" oil on canvas by Steve R. Coffey. Known for paintings rooted in prairie subjects and shifting weather systems, Coffey often works with layered strokes and blended colour fields to interpret land and sky. This work presents a long train moving across a low horizon, partially obscured by swirling winter light.

The horizon stretches close to the lower third of the canvas, where a red train moves horizontally across the landscape. Above it, the sky is rendered in blended tones of pale blue, turquoise, lavender, white, and soft yellow, with sweeping strokes that create an impression of shifting cloud and snow. Warmer accents appear along the horizon and near the centre-right, where red and pink pigments gather in a concentrated area of colour. The brushwork ranges from smooth, luminous passages to thicker, textured marks, forming a layered surface that reveals more detail over time. The work rewards extended viewing.

Accessibility Description

The artwork is a horizontal-format oil painting. A narrow horizon line runs across the lower third of the canvas, showing a long red train moving from left to right. The land below the train is painted in muted green, blue, and brown tones.

Above the horizon, the sky fills most of the painting in broad blended tones of pale blue, turquoise, white, lavender, and soft yellow. The brushstrokes are sweeping and curved, creating areas of thicker texture and more transparent washes. Warmer red and pink colours appear near the centre-right, forming a concentrated area of pigment. The overall surface shows a combination of smooth and textured applications. No visible signature appears in the provided image.

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.
