Opening the Line (2025)

Oil on canvas
30 × 40 in

A winter trapping camp comes to life under a violet sky as two men work the line alongside their dog team. The scene captures the unromantic, physical reality of life on the land — labour, cold, routine, and interdependence — without sentimentality. Halin paints the North from lived experience, focusing on the quiet dignity of work and the human bond with animals in harsh conditions.
