Alberta Wheat Pool Barry Tate Gallery of Fine Art - acrylic paintings and watercolor paintings

ALBERTA WHEAT POOL
Wheat pools have been an historic part of the prairies in Canada and the United States. At one time thousands of grain elevators dotted the landscapes and played a crucial roll in the farming communities. Linked by railways and roads, they made shipping millions of tons of grain economical and efficient.
Modern technologies and consolidations are quickly making these fine structures obsolete. In only a few short years wheat pools have almost been almost wiped out!
A few innovative small town communities have embraced the old buildings and have turned them into small shopping areas and restaurants.
Alberta Wheat Pool helps honor and preserve this valuable part of our heritage.

ORIGINAL PAINTING:

30" x 40" acrylic on 3/4" clean-edge canvas. ( 28x38 face dimension )
A clean-edge painting can simply be hung "as is" for a modern contemporary look, or by using an optional frame that suits your decor.

GICLÉE PRINT
Giclée prints are the best type of reproductions available today.
They are supplied with a double acid free mat and foam backing board. All you need is a common 16x20" frame.
Mat options are:
    silver gray with dark blue inner mat - nice traditional look that fits well. A mid to dark colored frame looks best
    dark blue on dark blue - dramatic and bold look, very powerful. Best with a light colored frame like metalics or wood.
    white on white - traditional gallery choice, classy and elegant. Goes with all decors. Best with a mid to medium dark frame.
