Surface wear, scattered scratches, visible stone lines across the head and body, and minor edge nicking to the tail fin.
Canadian Inuit Carved Stone Muskox Figure
A Canadian Inuit carved stone muskox figure, worked in a dark green-gray stone with a compact, stylized body, rounded hump, and a contrasting band of incised rough-textured coat encircling the lower half.

Carved in a pale porous bone, likely whalebone, the figure is rendered in a strongly reduced and sculptural form, with an elongated head, compact body, and two rear upturned projections that give the composition a transformational, spirit-like character consistent with Pangnirtung shamanic imagery. The lot retains its original hanging certification tag reading “LASALOOSIE ESHULUTAK / PANGNIRTUNG / OCT. 87 / SHAMAN / 8710-576” together with an underside carving-number label.

A modest signed Inuit bird carving of appealing cabinet scale. Minor edge rubbing consistent with age and handling.
Canadian Inuit Bone Seal on Ice Floe
A Canadian Inuit bone carving of a basking seal reclining on an irregular ice-floe base, worked in a pale porous bone, likely whalebone, with a compact rounded body, lightly indicated foreflippers, and a raised head turned upward. The underside retains an old igloo authenticity tag. The carving has a strong textural presence, with the open cellular surface of the bone used effectively to suggest the roughness of ice and the natural character of the material.

The Spring Auction - 3 Sessions

Crane Thomas (Canadian, 1949–2005), Untitled (Woodland Reflections), Oil on Board
Signed oil on board landscape by Crane Thomas, depicting a quiet woodland edge with leafless trees, a pale path or clearing, and a reflective body of water in the foreground. The composition is handled in a loose, painterly manner, with broken, textured brushwork and a soft palette of rose, cream, ochre, blue, and grey that gives the scene a luminous, reflective quality. The image has a strong atmospheric effect, with the mirrored treeline and water surface becoming as important as the wooded bank itself. Signature appears upper left. Presented in a moulded frame with matting. The framed size is 22 x 18 in., with the visible image 16 x 12 in. Artist Note: Crane Thomas was a Canadian painter (1949–2005) whose work appears in auction records primarily as landscape painting, including Alberta subjects such as Big Hill Springs, Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, Bow River, and Seba Beach Road. The Art Gallery of Grande Prairie also lists Seba Beach Road, 1980, an oil on masonite, in its permanent collection. That surviving record places him within a regional Canadian landscape tradition, and this work fits well within that sensibility through its focus on light, reflection, and a familiar natural setting.

Signed and dated 1975 landscape painting on canvas board by Alberta artist Rose Leonard. The composition depicts a luminous prairie hayfield in autumnal light, with sheaves scattered across an open field, stands of slender trees at left, and a wide Alberta sky with soft drifting clouds above. Executed in a warm palette of gold, rose, mauve, and violet, the painting reflects Leonard’s preference for scenic and natural subjects and carries a distinctly regional Western Canadian character. Signed lower right “Rose Leonard ’75.” Housed in a substantial decorative frame. Frame 36 x 30 in.; support size 22 x 28 in. Artist Note: Rose Leonard, also known as Rose Leonard-Davies, was an Alberta painter born near St. Paul in 1916. Archival sources identify her as a self-taught artist active in Alberta.

Terry Orletsky, Untitled (Prairie Homestead), 1990
Signed “Orletsky 1990” lower right, this landscape painting depicts a weathered prairie cabin set beyond sunlit grasses, with a stand of wind-shaped pines in the foreground and dark evergreens rising behind. The composition has a distinctly Western Canadian feel, balancing warm ochres and golds against cooler blue-grey shadows and sky. The subject is handled in a soft, atmospheric manner, with the homestead partly absorbed into the surrounding land, giving the picture a reflective, nostalgic quality. Framed size 29 x 23 in.; artwork size 24 x 18 in. Artist Note: Terry Orletsky is a landscape painter who has written that his roots are in the prairies of Alberta and the Canadian Rockies. In published artist statements, he cites Turner and Monet as influences and describes his landscapes as focused on movement, atmosphere, grain, trees, skies, and occasional farm buildings. His public portfolio includes closely related prairie subjects such as Prairie Sky, Prairie Farm, Prairie Granary, and Demchuk’s Farm Revisited.
Wendy Rasmusson, Country Road with Homestead, 1981

The composition is built around strong linear perspective, drawing the eye down the rutted road toward the distant buildings and giving the scene a distinctly rural Western Canadian character. Warm ochres, golds, and earth tones dominate the foreground and fields, contrasted by cooler blues in the sky and softer greens around the farm. The painting has a straightforward, nostalgic appeal, capturing the quiet openness of the countryside and the order of an agricultural landscape. Signed lower left Wendy Rasmusson ’81. Oil on canvas. Painting 20 x 16 in.; framed 25 x 21 in.
Shirley Washington, Water Tower and Grain Elevators, Gibbons, Alberta, 1978
Signed and dated 1978, this Alberta regional landscape depicts the railway approach to Gibbons, with grain elevators at left, a freestanding water tower at right, and tracks drawing the eye into the distance beneath an open prairie sky. Painted in a restrained, realistic manner, the work has a strong sense of local place and prairie infrastructure, balancing the geometry of the elevators and rails against the softer field grasses and clouds. Verso with artist label identifying Shirley Washington, Edmonton. Sight size 12 x 8 in.; framed 17 x 14 in. The subject is well chosen historically. The Alberta Railway Museum identifies the Gibbons water tank as a 1919 structure later acquired by the museum, and notes that a diorama was made to show its original location in Gibbons. The museum’s historical notes also describe a water tower situated opposite a grain elevator on the line, which fits this composition closely.
Signed Turner, The Three Sisters, Watercolour on Paper
Watercolour landscape depicting The Three Sisters in the Alberta Rockies, showing the familiar trio of mountain peaks rising beyond golden foreground meadows, a dark tree line, and a band of green foothills. The composition is handled in a clean, decorative manner with soft washes of blue, violet, ochre, and green, capturing the contrast between open prairie light and the cooler mass of the mountains.

The composition is handled in a loose, richly textured manner, with broken brushwork and deep green, ochre, brown, and amber tones creating a strong sense of filtered light and undergrowth.

The composition is atmospheric and expressive rather than strictly topographical, using soft veils of mauve, violet, blue, ochre, and grey to suggest movement, weather, and fading light. The verso is inscribed “Tossed About / acrylic / by Esther Loree / $40.00,” which gives the work its title and confirms the medium. Framed approximately 21 x 18 in.; visible art approximately 12 x 9 in.
Two Medalta Potteries Redcliff Glazed Pottery Pitchers
A pair of Canadian glazed pottery pitchers by Medalta Potteries, Redcliff, Alberta, each with circular factory stamp to the underside. The lot comprises a larger buff-bodied serving pitcher with mottled brown, bark-like glaze and an angular applied handle, together with a smaller cream-bodied milk or cream jug with dark brown rim wash and loop handle.
