Still Standing

Recently I have been working on a series of prairies paintings. I really love the subject matter. Having grown up in Saskatchewan, this is very close to my heart.

I love driving through the prairies, as the gentle warm winds blow, stopping often to take photos of sway-back barns, and old sheds...still standing through years of use and changing seasons.
  • start out with a warm background colour
  • I sketch the outlines of the barn, sheds and trees
  • next comes the sky and the clouds
  • at this stage I often forget to take more photos as I get excited about the process, until the final piece is finished
"Still Standing", 12 x 24" acrylic on canvas

Buy 1 - Get 1 Free

At this time of year I like to clean up my studio and get ready for the new year. I am a prolific painter who lives in a very small house. I need to make room for some new work ...

I have decided to offer a special: Buy 1 - Get 1 Free

I have selected 12 of my pieces. These are all 8 x 10", acrylic and mixed media paintings on canvas board. They are perfect for popping into a standard size frame and onto your wall. They will also make a great Christmas present for someone special.

Some have been painted 'en plein air' while others are studies of a particular style or subject matter. They are all original Schaefer paintings.

Priced at $99. (+ shipping)

For a complete listing of titles and descriptions, please visit my online gallery.

Call or email me today with your selections.
