About the Artwork

View from Queen Alexandra is an original 30" × 40" acrylic on canvas painting by Fraser Brinsmead, available through West End Gallery. From a residential street in Edmonton’s Queen Alexandra neighbourhood, Brinsmead brings together homes, mature trees and the descending roadway with the North Saskatchewan River valley and downtown skyline beyond. The Walterdale Bridge rises through the centre of the composition, while the Alberta Legislature Building and neighbouring towers establish the city’s northern horizon.

A View Across Edmonton

The painting connects several layers of Edmonton in a single elevated view. Queen Alexandra’s residential architecture anchors the foreground, two figures introduce an intimate human scale, and the river valley opens toward the civic centre. Brinsmead’s crisp architectural detail is balanced by broad white clouds, bright blue sky and summer foliage, giving the cityscape both precision and movement.

Queen Alexandra’s northern section formed part of the original Town of Strathcona before Edmonton and Strathcona amalgamated in 1912. Beyond the neighbourhood, the Walterdale Bridge’s twin 56-metre arches span the North Saskatchewan River and create one of Edmonton’s most recognizable contemporary landmarks.

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.
