Photograph by Yvan Boulay and my own, taken during my morning walks...

This house at the entrance to the Cité de Saint-Hyacinthe is the first

on the left after the Gate of the Former Mayors, at the bend in the river

and it brings back fond memories of my adolescence

when my friend Jacques, a former schoolmate from the Séminaire de Saint-Hyacinthe,

lived there, and where we often gathered in the basement for recordings or

for a memorable youth party with our friends of that time.

This painting was acquired by one of my collectors during my Open House on September 11, 2025...

One of four paintings acquired that same evening by this collector.

Story

This painting is an example of my style with its recurring elements

including my stylized sky with broad brushstrokes and swirls

An oversized tree with exuberant vegetation that acts as

a theatre curtain to present and greet my heritage house

a painting that I want to be narrative, full of anecdotes, with nostalgic blues

evoking memorable memories.

with bright and contrasting colours.
