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.

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

Impressionist painting of two women at the beach, wearing long dresses. One is reading a book on a blanket. The other is sitting on a chair. Painter Helen McNicoll.

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”. #graphite #urbanlandscape #worksonpaper

Painting of a two-story house, probably 18th century. We’re seeing part of a church behind. Side door leads to outside stairs full of snow.

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. #figurativeart #familystories #worksonpaper #contemporaryart

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. #contemporarypainting

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. #contemporaypainting #family

Félix Vallotton’s sunsets feel otherworldly, and completely captivating. He was a Swiss artist (1865–1925) and part of Les Nabis with Bonnard and Vuillard. #FélixVallotton #LesNabis

This 12x18 oil on wood panel was a rare commission. I was drawn to the solitude of the scene, its Hopper-like composition evoking quiet introspection. Muted tones in the background contrast with the subject, enhancing the emotional resonance of being alone. #portraitpainting #contemporarypainting

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

This scene, set in 1950s Montreal, shows my dad as a child standing behind a tricycle, his younger brother happily seated on it, and my grandfather in the background. I was drawn to the dynamic composition of this trio—their positions and interactions bring the scene to life. Oil on paper, 8” x 10”.

This is a small portrait of my dad. I’m not sure how old he looks in the painting, but the reference photo shows him as a teenager, eating an ice cream cone. One day, I plan to paint the entire scene—capturing the defiant way he enjoyed that ice cream. #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #portrait

Large portrait, 30” x 40”, painted on the floor with diluted paint. Inspired by an old, blurry photo of my grandfather. I didn’t know him well, but I was drawn to this expressive, indistinct face—perhaps as a way to reflect on where I come from. #art #painting #contemporarypainting #figurativeart
