Symphony of love

SYMPHONY OF LOVE - 24" x 36" - Acrylic and mixed media on wood In this creation, I present a colourful composition of roses, where the elegance of each petal narrates tales of love. Atop this arrangement, a gentle dove takes center stage, symbolizing your loved one. Against a pristine white backdrop, the vibrant red hues infuse the painting with passion and ardor. Embedded within the layers of paint, you will discover the partitions and musical scores of the timeless love melodies of "Hymne à l'amour" and "La Vie En Rose" by Edith Piaf, as well as the enchanting "Habanera"…

BELIEVE

BELIEVE - 28” x 38” - Acrylic and mixed media on wood. Today, I am excited to present a groundbreaking piece. Before creating this personalized piece, I had never painted so many characters on a single canvas. I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and, in doing so, pushed my artistic boundaries. This scene depicts the epic victory of Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters Tournament. On that day, he donned his fifth green jacket of his career. It marked his first triumph at a major tournament in 11 years. Embedded within the layers of paint, you'll find on…

LE MARQUIS DE VAUBAN

The Marquis de Vauban - 14” X 18” - Acrylic and mixed media on wood. This customized piece was painted to celebrate a lady I had the pleasure of meeting last October at Manoir Hovey in North Hatley. Discreetly, her husband Guilhem asked me to paint a rabbit, with the only hint being her affinity for the colour purple. Hence, you'll notice the predominant shades of purple and violet in our subject. To complement this stylish character, you will notice the ochre yellow in the background. Born in 1964, Christine is a native of Lille, in France. Therefore, I thought…

BRAVE

BRAVE - 26” X 36” - Acrylic and mixed media on wood. This unique artwork was created for the luxurious Hovey Manor, located on the shores of Lake Massawippi in North Hatley.

Peek through the layers of paint and you'll uncover elements uniquely tied to Hovey Manor's history. Embark on a quest to find traces of the manor's past within the painting. The year 1792, for instance, marks Captain Ebenezer Hovey's discovery of Lake Massawippi. Look closely at Elisabeth’s neck, and you'll…

Year of the legend

"YEAR OF THE LEGEND" - 24" X 40" - Acrylic and mixed techniques on wood. This artwork celebrates the 50th birthday of a great man. Embedded within the layers of paint, you can discern several items significant to his journey. This piece briefly recounts the early days of our ROCK 'N' ROLL musician. To highlight this phase, I direct your attention to the speedboat, showing the fifty-year-old's affinity for water sports. If you look closely through the water supporting it, you'll find the first names of those with whom he began his musical ventures. Here, we’re talking about his close…
