In the distance, dark, rugged peaks stretch across the horizon, their jagged forms partially veiled by a moody sky filled with thick, drifting clouds. The clouds are layered and heavy, yet broken in places by pale light, giving the scene a sense of changeable weather and quiet drama.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the midground, a broad meadow spreads outward in muted green and yellow tones, suggesting wild grass and open alpine fields. Several tall, slender evergreens rise from the plain, their dark silhouettes standing out sharply against the lighter background. They give the composition a vertical rhythm and draw the eye upward toward the mountains and sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe painting feels calm but not entirely still. There is a subtle sense of wind and distance, as if the land is vast, cold, and breathing under the shifting sky. The brushwork appears loose and textured, lending the scene a natural, impressionistic quality. Overall, it conveys the beauty of a remote wilderness—quiet, expansive, and touched with a touch of melancholy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is 25.5\" Wide by 31\" Tall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is matted and framed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece was created 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Picture is part of the Temporary Exhibit \u003cspan\u003e\"Beauty of the Rockies\" Come and see it in person through the months of June and July 2026.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Coates has stated that 50% of the proceeds of this painting are to go towards the Charity of the buyer's choice, or barring that, the \"Central Alberta Pregnancy Care Center\" and the \"Red Deer Food Bank\".\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Coates","offers":[{"title":"25.5\" x 31\" \/ Framed \/ Pastel","offer_id":44413000056874,"sku":null,"price":790.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1001\/5018\/files\/IMG_20260601_123731134.jpg?v=1780349937","url":"https:\/\/curiosityartandframing.com\/products\/close-to-the-kline-river","provider":"Curiosity Art \u0026 Framing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
