This piece was sketched from a CPR train window, January 1964, while the artist was enroute from Brandon to Winnipeg through the Carberry sandhills. It was a hazy morning when land and sky seemed to blend with sun showing through cloud in places. Steve Repa was employed by the Brandon Allied Arts Centre (1962-1964). He commuted to Winnipeg one day weekly to teach (1963-1964) (Bu Art Catalogue, 1983)
