Shelterbelt


Our protection and comfort often comes from familiarity. What we know keeps us sheltered from uncertainty and displacement. A typical shelterbelt is a linear row of trees that keeps harsh weather from creating damage to large open lands, highways, and even rural homes. The shelterbelt in this painting is a rural representation of what familiarities comfort and protect many prairie lifestyles.
