“FEELS LIKE HOME” - 30” x 24” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Please see description in French.

“GIN & TONIQUE” - 28” X 20” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. Those who know me well, know that I am behind supporting local businesses. One could say that the COVID pandemic has made this even more important to me than ever. In this painting, I have incorporated many local gins as well as 1642 tonic, also a local product. The colours I chose have a special significance in this piece. Certain gins (like the Bleu Royal brand) change colours when something acidic such as tonic or lemon are added.

STARFISH
 - 24” X 18” – Acrylic and mixed media on canvas. This eccentric swimmer was inspired by my series of “sunfish” which I love to paint over and over again. As most of you know, I have a bias toward this fish species that most despise. I have always been captivated by its vivid colours sparkling in the sunlight.

POISSON ROUGE - 60” x 48” I thoroughly enjoyed creating this painting...so many items that remind me of my childhood, such as my mother’s favourite chocolate treat, Cherry Blossom, Labatt beer, my uncles’ preferred beverage (uncles on my father’s side), Orange Crush, the Radio-Canada emblem, etc. I also included a sample of Quebec cartoonist Michel Rabagliati’s work, a photo of a rather sexy woman, Montreal’s former mayor Jean Drapeau and an article dating back to 1970 when Montreal was bidding for the ‘76 Olympic games, the logo of our hockey team, the Canadiens, etc. Texture created with articles from burlap,…

MON CRAPET-SOLEIL - 30” X 24” When I was a boy my family and I would spend our summers at Lake Magog in the Eatern Townships. I remember that no one liked sunfish because they are edible and they nibble at your toes! But I found them magnificent. They way the sun reflected on their colourful scales made the sunfish flamboyant. Perhaps this painting will allow you to appreciate this fish as well. Textures created with a map of the Montreal metro station, a sketch of Quebec cartoonist Michel Rabagliati, newspaper articles, Batman, plaster and burlap.
