CHATEAU FRONTENAC

A few years ago we made a trip up to Canada and, more specifically, Quebec. My father was born in this part of Canada and I have relatives that still live in the area. While there we visited the Chateau Frontenac. Built in the late 1800s', it is truly a spectacular hotel. Below is an acrylic painting I did when we returned to California.

QUEBEC

Sorting through old paintings and prints a few weeks ago, I found things that have been buried for years. Well, not buried (I do dust occasionally) but out of sight. This is an acrylic painting I did from a photograph I took on a trip to Quebec. The famous Chateau Fontenac. A side note about Quebec, while viewing some of the cemeteries I noticed that there a lot of 'Brissons' buried in Quebec. Don't think I'll visit there again. No need to tempt fate!

QUEBEC TRIP

A couple of years ago we spent a few weeks back east and then went to Ile Verte, an island outside of Quebec. We rented and old 19th century home overlooking the Saint-Lawrance Estuary. This is a painting I did of my wife Teri, and a friend that went on the trip with us. very relaxing with only radio and books.
