Curator Comments: A fresh, happy painting titled âWestern Skyâ by Quebec artist, Everist Prokofiev. The image makes me think of a gentle breeze coming down from the mountains in the background, stirring the drifting leaves coming off everyoneâs favorite birch trees. Prokofievâs paintings feature thick, juicy texture that adds a modern dimension to these magical works of art. Original art search keywords: Mountains, birch trees, blue, yellow, cream tones
