Original artwork description:

We have chinook winds in Calgary and often I compare my emotions to chinook winds. They are strong and they give me strength..

The mediums used to create this artwork include professional grade acrylic paint, gesso and art-grade varnish which is applied to preserve and enhance the lustre. The artwork is painted on professional heavy weight primed cotton canvas.

The painting is currently unstretched. The dimensions stated allow for stretching on a 1.5"" (3.8 cm) deep gallery frame. Since the painted canvas would be wrapping around the sides, a separate frame is not required.

Due to the cost and risks associated with shipping a large painting of this size when it's stretched, I prefer to ship paintings of this size unstretched and rolled in a tube. This approach eliminates the risks of damage and significantly reduces shipping costs. The collector can then have the painting mounted locally, typically at an expected cost ranging between $150 and $200.

The painting is carefully rolled in glassine paper and shipped in a damage-resistant ABS tube.
