Even the titles of the works of Saskatchewan artist Wilf Perreault reflect the simplicity of daily life: Home Time (above), Kitchen Lights (below).

These scenes by one of western Canada’s best known artists capture the cool tones of a prairie winter.

I didn’t know too much about him until I put together this post, but he’s had a huge impact out west and I love his work. Thanks for taking the time to comment.
I enjoy Will Perrault’s paintings and his world view.
Hi,
Very nice, a winter wonderland. 🙂
Yes, even though they’re kind of dark, they’re still beautiful, aren’t they? Thanks for stopping by.
