About the Artwork
Summer Landlines is a 36" × 24" oil on canvas by Steve R. Coffey. Coffey’s paintings often draw from prairie settings, using layered colour and textured mark-making to interpret the shifting conditions of land and sky. In this work, a pair of telephone poles stands below a broad, luminous sky, providing a quiet vertical structure against a wide horizontal field.
The composition places a dark green and brown horizon along the lower edge, where two slender poles rise from the land. Above them, the sky is formed from thick, swirling applications of blue, teal, white, and pale yellow, creating a surface of layered movement. Patches of deeper blue cluster across the mid-sky, while lighter tones gather near the upper centre around a small circular sun. Coffey’s varied brushwork—ridges, broken strokes, and blended passages—adds depth and texture throughout the scene. The work rewards extended viewing.

Accessibility Description
The artwork is a vertical-format oil painting. A narrow band of dark brown and green forms the horizon along the bottom edge. From this area, two thin telephone poles stand upright near the centre and left side of the composition.
Above the horizon, the majority of the canvas is filled with a textured sky painted in layered tones of bright blue, deep blue, teal, white, and pale yellow. The brushstrokes are short and swirling, creating areas of thick ridges and more blended sections. A small circular sun appears in the upper centre, surrounded by lighter colours. There is no visible signature in the provided image.
