Abandoned Prairie Farmhouse Saskatchewan Black And White | Limited Edition of 10
Weathered Prairie Homestead Beneath Rolling Storm Clouds
I came across this abandoned farmhouse in the open prairie of Saskatchewan, standing alone in a stretch of land that feels almost endless. There’s nothing decorative about it. No fences to frame it, no trees to soften it. Just a structure left to face the weather year after year, slowly giving itself back to the land.
What drew me in immediately was the contrast between the house and the sky. The building itself is worn but still holding its shape, every board and shingle telling a story of time and exposure. The siding has started to peel and warp, the windows sit empty, and the front entrance has begun to collapse into itself. Yet it’s still standing, almost stubbornly, as if it refuses to fully disappear.
Above it, the clouds roll in heavy layers. Not dramatic in an exaggerated way, but real—dense, textured, and constantly shifting. The sky carries weight here, and it changes how the house feels. Without it, this would just be an abandoned building. With it, the entire scene becomes something quieter, more reflective, almost suspended in time.
I photographed this on location while travelling through rural Saskatchewan, stopping when I saw the structure rising out of the landscape with nothing around it. There’s a kind of stillness out there that doesn’t exist in more populated places. You feel it immediately when you step out of the vehicle. No noise, no movement—just wind and space.
This piece works well in spaces where you want something grounded and understated. It’s not loud, but it carries presence. The textures hold up at larger sizes, especially in black and white, where the detail in the wood, grass, and sky becomes the focus rather than colour.
Each print is produced using archival pigment inks on museum-quality paper, then personally signed and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. It’s created to last, both in material and in the feeling it carries.
If you’re drawn to scenes that reflect real places and real moments, you can explore more from this series in my abandoned places wall art collection.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
