About the Artwork
When Hope Breaks Through is a 36" x 48" oil painting by Richard Cole created on canvas. Drawing on his Prairie roots, Cole contrasts a vibrant field of yellow canola with the immense drama of an approaching storm. The horizon stretches uninterrupted, holding the tension between land and sky in perfect balance.
The foreground blooms with clusters of canola blossoms, painted with textured strokes that catch the light and establish warmth against the darker tones above. Rising over the field, a sweep of storm clouds deepens from slate-grey to midnight blue, their mass edged with shifting streaks of white and pale azure. Within this atmosphere, a break of luminous sky suggests renewal and the promise of calm after turbulence. Cole’s handling of light and colour heightens the emotional resonance of the work, offering both drama and reassurance within a single, expansive view.

Accessibility Description
The rectangular painting presents a sweeping Prairie landscape dominated by a dramatic sky. The bottom third of the canvas is filled with a field of yellow canola flowers. In the foreground, tall stems and clustered blossoms are individually articulated, their greens and yellows creating lively variation. As the field recedes toward the horizon, the detail softens into a broad band of golden colour.
The horizon line is unbroken, running level from edge to edge. Above it, storm clouds occupy most of the canvas, painted in layers of deep blue and slate grey. The lower portion of the sky is the darkest, almost black in sections, suggesting heavy rain or an oncoming squall. Higher up, the clouds begin to disperse into paler shades of blue, streaked with wisps of white that curve upward and outward. Light breaks through these upper clouds, creating a sense of movement and transition from storm to clearing. The painting is balanced between the brightness of the blossoms below and the weight of the clouds above, with the vertical sides framing the horizontal sweep of land and sky.
