About the Artwork
The Thread is a 36" × 24" oil on canvas by Steve R. Coffey. Coffey’s work frequently reflects the visual language of the prairie horizon, where changing light and layered colour bands form the foundation of his compositions. This painting centres on the idea of a narrow vertical path rising from a grounded treeline, creating a quiet structural line that gives the work its title.
A dark row of conifers sits low along the bottom edge, anchoring the composition before giving way to a sky built from layered violet-grey, muted blue, and soft gold. From the centre of the horizon, a slim column of pale blue, yellow, and pink pigment lifts upward through the field of colour. Small circular marks in deep greens, purples, and blues are scattered across the sky, adding subtle points of texture. Coffey’s varied application—short strokes, thin washes, and raised ridges—creates a surface that reveals more with continued study. The work rewards extended viewing.

Accessibility Description
The painting is a vertical-format oil on canvas. A dark horizontal band forms a low horizon along the bottom edge, with narrow conifer shapes painted in deep green and black. Above this, the sky occupies most of the composition and is rendered in blended tones of violet, grey, blue, and muted gold. Scattered throughout the sky are small circular marks in dark green, blue, and purple.
A vertical column of lighter colour begins at the centre of the horizon and rises toward the top edge. This column contains short strokes of pale blue, white, yellow, and pink. The surrounding sky shows layered brushstrokes that alternate between smooth and textured passages, with some areas built up in ridges and others thinly applied. No visible signature appears in the provided image.
