Ian SheldonBig Flax SquareOil on Canvas42 x 42 in
106.7 x 106.7 cmSoldIn Sheldon’s ‘Big Flax Square’ a sky laden with heavy hues and softly bruised tones floats above the flowing grasslands of the limitlessly sweeping plains. The moody yet iridescent sea of cloud cover is mirrored in the coolness of the highlighted landscape below. The result is a scene that could go on forever and a meditation on the peace, tranquility and soulfulness of the places where ends and beginnings meet.

Ian SheldonSaskatchewan ElementsOil on Canvas60 x 48 in
152.4 x 121.9 cmSoldIn the serenity of the endless prairies, where horizons empty into the beyond, there is a stillness settled somewhere between feeling found and lost in tandem. Sheldon’s hypnotic rendering of that grounded calm pulls viewers into a breath of prairie life; an expanding awareness of the Canadian plains and the constant, moving rhythms of the dynamic skies above them.

A departure from the Sheldon's usual horizons, ‘Medicine Blues’ is an alpine embrace filled with moody tones of solemnity and quietude. Nestled beneath an ever changing mass of silent, rolling sky, Sheldon presents a sprawling vista of gentle, luminous light and land. Viewers are invited to lose themselves among these soulful, velvet hillsides and to revisit the stillness of a place unchanged by time.

91.4 x 91.4 cmSoldThe tranquillity found in wide open space is softly captured in Sheldon’s ‘September Sky Dyanmics.’ Beneath the vastness of the explosive autumn sky lies a gentle adaptation of sprawling, golden grasslands poised on the edge of a season. The eruption of life and light above the passing of the summer plains beautifully highlights the contrast between the ever changing elements and the stillness of a languishing landscape.

91.4 x 91.4 cmSoldIn places where the sky can appear too immense to behold, the world above becomes alive with inexpressible colour and a constant shifting of vaporous light. Sheldon’s exquisite rendering of the juxtaposition of this ever present dance between land and sky is seen in the boldly contrasted luminesce of sweeping, vibrant plains and the striking, churning atmosphere of an ever romantic cover of cloud.
