After the long Canadian winter

All through winter I painted a lot, exploring new textures and colours. I did a lot of sketches inspired by Iris (https://haeussler.ca/). Winter landscapes appealed to me and I searched how to give them a presence in my paintings through transparency, fragmentation and distorsion.

Black ink, oil pastel and oil on cartridge paper various sizes and one canevas “upside down on a chair” 22×28 (55x 71 cm).
