Folky Oil Painting Quebec City

Folky oil on canvas, signed lower left, dated 2004 verso. This oil on canvas captures a storybook view of Quebec City. High on the hill, a grand, castle-like complex (possibly the Château Frontenac) stretches across the skyline in warm ochres and blacks, its steep roofs and turreted silhouettes set against a clear, saturated blue sky.

Below, the scene drops into a lively lower-town street: compact white houses with bold blue and red roofs cluster along the road, their windows glowing in warm reds and oranges. Dense, textured greenery frames the middle ground, creating a lush slope between the neighborhoods. In the foreground, a horse-drawn carriage rolls toward the viewer.. whimsy and charming!
