This is a portrait of my daughter at 14, sitting on a chair with our cat. While the cat gazes outside, my daughter looks directly at us, creating an interesting dynamic. The technique blends drawing and painting. This oil painting is 12” x 16” on wood panel. #contemporarypainting

Euan Uglow's still-lifes were only realised after a slow, painstaking practice of observation, measurement, correction, and re-correction - left visible are the structural, geometric lines of symmetry used to create the perfectly proportioned and centred composition.

By Jacqueline Brison (1932-2006). It was painted around 1960. I love her bold outlines and vibrant colours.

Same applies to painting !
How to write: Stop not writing. Keep your butt in the chair. Write really bad small sections of the whole—passages, moments, episodes, memories—til you have an incredibly shitty 1st draft. Then take out the boring parts, the lies and pretensions. Then write a better 2nd draft.

Morning from Kyiv!
The night was calm here;
Not everywhere in Ukraine.
I read about 103 drones.
I had a #warcoffee
and am going to write.

I went to the Helen McNicoll retrospective at the MNBAQ, and I was fascinated by her impeccable technique: rays of sun in impasto, rich colours, excellent brushwork. #impressionism

This is Rue Claire-Fontaine in Quebec City, on a very cold winter day. I used to live near this street. It’s painted with water-soluble graphite, an interesting and portable medium. 10” x 12”.

L’Anse-aux-Érables, watercolour, 9” x 12”. A peaceful place I visit regularly with my family. It’s on the shores of the Saguenay River, Quebec.

What a difference a good title makes. Now I’m seeing owls and deers in this painting!

This is a painting of my dad, who would have celebrated his birthday today. He was a violin maker, and earlier in life, an engineer. In his later years, he had Alzheimer’s. This is inspired by one of the last photos I took of him. He didn’t talk much anymore, but that time he gave us a thumbs up. 1/

This small oil on paper depicts four children—my mother, aunt, and uncles—playing in the sand. Based on a photograph taken by my grandfather, the painting has few details and no faces, focusing instead on the essence of the moment.

This oil on paper depicts a family visit during Christmas, based on an old photograph. I was a baby, sitting on my father’s knees, with my mother seated in front of us. Though I have no memory of this moment, the painting explores the fragmented way we piece together our past.

This painting is inspired by a photograph taken by my maternal grandfather, a gifted photographer and skilled draughtsman. He captured this scene in the Mauricie region, Quebec, in the 50’s. Oil on paper, 9” x 11”.

An oil portrait of my son at 12, wearing his pajamas in the sun on a camping trip. I like how his eyes are visible through his sunglasses, adding a subtle depth to the scene. I’m happy to remember this carefree, stress-free week spent with family and friends.
